I'm hoping to get the Camaro MoT'ed this month but last time I fired her she struggled to idle.

My first thought was over fuelling and as the regulator for the Holley hasn't been set this makes plenty of sense.

I just need to borrow one, run it inline, set it and jobs a good'un.

I've got a spare inline fitting (meaning I don't have to pull the whole setup from mine)- Can't remember the exact fittings (Likely to be -6AN to 3/8 NPT) If you can work out a way of plumbing it in you can use it and the guage to get it set up.  I have got a few assorted adapters that may be useful.

if the adapters dont fit DONT use gaffa tape to hold the guage in... it will leak after a short time.. and it's not long enough to get the reading.... trust me......

As I'll need one for the Caddy as well soon enough I'm gonna treat myself and buy one.
I found one for £5 (starting) +P&P on ebay - and he'll put on whatever ends I want, too.

If it doesn't work out I've got a couple sitting in the garage

Thanks, Mate.

TBH if it was much dearer I'd pass but it'll come in handy if I get it.

I won the auction.

Got it for £11 with a choice of what diameter tails I want on it.

Sounds like it's shown up this morning !
