Given I have the engine and all back in, it's running..ish, That's after 4 new sets of injectors having never turned a wheel (they are shit) and my whole stock of fuel distributor's, 4 were goosed, last one fine
just needs a good set up and a 4 wheel alignment. Who do I trust near Fife to set the car up?
Please don't tell me what was MV Turbos, RJM, Falkland Performance or the clowns at the back of Glasgow Airport.
From past experience wouldn't let any of them near it.
RJM use to be brilliant but the last time they had it for 3 months and a 1600 bill, they screwed up everything they touched.
Going to speak to Sitech but get the impression if it's not megabuck conversion, they won't be interested, any advice welcomed.
Desperate to get it gone and buy a Porsche

An old G-Model with K-Jetronic and fuel distributor? :P

Never want anything to do with K Jetronic ever again. Saying that the guy that will be taking care of the Porsche knows the system well
so may take the RS to him to sort out!

There’s a good chance Sitech won’t be interested, nothing to do with the cost of the conversion just that most MFI systems they see don’t actually work and getting parts is difficult.
And if you don’t want John at MV to fix it then your best bet would be to sell it as it is.
I use Sitech for my RST and MV for my daily and both are amazing.

As for alignment I use pro grip in Larbert but Andrew Lamont in Kelty will do it with strings and is very good.

Thanks for that, think I can get the alignment done locally. As to selling as is, given I've spent two years and a load of money and effort replacing near everything with new parts, had a few chancers trying that tack and looking to pay half what it's worth when all it's needs is a tuner that knows these cars..
If Stewart at SP Autobhan won't do it for me, p.i.t.a. but will trailer it to Blackpool.
When I had my last Black one, took it to MV to fit a new exhaust, came back from Offshore, collected it, seemed taking nuts of the studs was to much hassle so just
screwed the studs /nuts back into the head and stripped four or five of the threads in the head. A load of hassle I did not need since I could have done the job properly myself and was very near fisticuffs when I complained!
Tried Falkland when in Glenrothes years ago to tune it, mixture when checked in my mates local garage was so weak, was lucky to get it home, return visit with a Big mate and a baseball bat at least got me my money back.
Tried AVA and told them I wasn't interested in what power it made just wanted it set up, went mental on the rollers and the head gasket went a week later.
For years Derek at RJM was brilliant and it ran 16 p,s.i. sweet as a nut. He went and left them without a feckin clue.

Some photos of the resto on here as Si74. Loads more on the laptop. Came back from RJM after 3 months and a 1600 quid bill and everything they'd touched was a mess, Started twice and oiled the plugs, fuel dist. was knackered, brake pipes done by a Monkey, exhaust to turbo elbow on squint and stripped threads, goosed fuel gauge replaced with a whole shebang and a speedo showing 97K as opposed to the cars 64K, auxiliary air valve getting .3 of a volt and supposedly m.o.t,'d with 10 lbs of air in each tyre? Told me they were only doing me a favour as they didn't work on 'this old shite anymore'. Needless to say words were exchanged!
Up to do brake and fuel lines, underside was stripped to bare metal, two coats of Rustabond, two coats of some extortionate oil rig paint that was more orange than red, two coats of Radiant Red, two coats of Gravitex then another two coats of Radiant Red, All the bits Ford couldn't be arsed to paint given the same treatment so the underside will probably outlast me,lol.
Will post some photos soon.
