Good news: Some throttle bodies went on this week.

Bad news: Not the throttle bodies that belong to the orange car. I have temporarily nicked the set from my '69 2.0S...

Rendering a perfectly good car inoperable is clearly not ideal, but it's a very easy job to swap them over (and back in due course). Everything else is ready for an engine run, and I feel I need to know where I stand with the engine sooner rather than later. Only one way to find out...

So wrong, really. Poor 69S.

It will at least give me a chance to tidy up a few engine bay niggles. New fuel hose probably not a bad idea, for example.

Please excuse messy wiring, mechanical oil pressure gauge, etc on the 70 car. Test mule mode.
