ITB's for the win! I had a customer who built one, himself (Superformance GT40) and designed an ITB setup (he was a skilled engineer). Always fun! I've had the pleasure and luxury of being around several of these cars, and worked with some legendary folks who had their hands on many of the originals, and stored and curated more than one.
Ya I looked at your site and the "one" thing u didn't have a video about was doing or being in any way interested in "wrenching". Many vids on making drinks and playing video games though. It is kinda ironic that an engine that just was rebuilt and only runs on 6 of 8, leaks and sounds like an old hit and miss engine would motivate you to revive your "wrenching" skills.
As a former "Exhaust Guy" (I use to work at a shop where I did most of the custom exhaust work in town), That Exhaust is beautiful. What transmission is that?
It's a German 5 speed transmission. He said it's the same transmission that's in his Pantera. That transmission is very deceptive looking at it you'd think that little thing is light but it's very heavy.
I told him that. The last day before I flew back home he finally found his little program box for the fuel injection and it was set to 15° advance I was thinking he should try 10 and see what that does.
@@garysgarage.2841 Hmm sounds like he just needs to re-verify initial timing to be safe. 15° BTDC at cranking is not far off. I normally tune on Megasquirt and Holley ECU systems and set cranking timing to 8-10°. Also does your friend have a wideband sensor installed on at least one bank to check AFR's? My ears detect a lean "pop" however could be from excessive ignition timing. Edit: I see you guys do have a Wideband installed on bank 1. What was the AFR reading at idle and a warm engine? (after all warm-up enrichment is off)

One heck of a race car!
This makes me want to wrench again.

I just looked at your channel. Are you sure you want to judge others?
@@michaelalbert8474 Isn't that what the Internet was invented for😅
Need to remove that crap muffler. Has to be open or it's not a real GT--40

Nice. Timing seems a bit aggressive on startup and a definite misfire. Sure it's not lean?
Too much initial timing

Timing is off.
