Extractors and a new fan belt made a difference in my car when i first brought it, but it's a shame u dont have the tools to do the job.

Goodluck with her mate :)

You need the manifold for your carby you would be replacing the exhaust head "what i call it" with extractors.

ok the exhaust head has a massive crack in it and i think when i blasted it with water i opened it up more or at least unclogged it does that sound likely to cause a "misfire" like sound as its losing half its pressure at the crack and half coming out the back? it definately explains where my power went.
