Well I guess a bit of an update - the headgasket needed doing! So while the head was off it had new guides, seats and valves cut and lapped, a skim - and a bigger cam. I also pulled all the megajolt out and moved the edis inside the car - along with hiding all the front end loom and moving the batte...

Hi- No shielded cable is required for those parts of the circuit. The coil drive wiring especially does not require a shield. Hope this helps! This is why it's a silly question! I know the coil wiring does not need to be shielded - but my question is that instead of running the three wires to the c...

Shielded cable for coil and tps?

In my head this sounds like a silly question but I'll ask it anyway... On the coil and tps wiring, could I use a shielded cable and use the shielding for the ground? Ie on the tps run the shielded pair for the vref and signal and use the shielding itself for the ground or would this be too much for ...

Ta, the only thing on the shopping list exterior wise is some 15in steels to replace the alloys!

http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i144/prey001/nova/DSC00915.jpg Thats the only other pic I have of the bracket at the moment, its a 1600 16v one - spaced out from the block and thinned a little to clear the trigger wheel. Then the sensor hole is taken out a bit and the sensor itself spaced with wa...

Coming inside the car we've got the earth points top left and the unit itself mounted nice and easy to reach in a really stupid place (will be going in stereo area most likely when i rewire), also have my rev counter working from the megajolt (ignore the trailing wires on that pic, they are power ta...

Overall view, the dizzy is still in place at the moment as I have a dizzy blank that is having the drive hole filled in so will be fitting it soon: http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i144/prey001/nova/DSC00919.jpg The coil is temporarily mounted with huge cable ties until I relocate it to the inner w...

Trigger wheel is a ring from trigger-wheels.com, welded to a standard 8v pulley that has ben turned down slightly to give a flatter surface to weld to. The crank sensor bracket is a modified 16v bracket: http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i144/prey001/nova/DSC00914.jpg http://i71.photobucket.com/albu...

Vauxhall Nova Mk1, 1600 8v, R1 carbs...

My wkend project, recently megajolted. Was running bike carbs for a few months on a dizzy so can say the megajolt is a worthwhile upgrade. Noticed much smoother through the revs and pulls better low down/midrange. It also leaned the fuelling over the dizzy so it needed the mixture richening a bit. I...
