treated Ruby to a session on minispeed rolling road today - wow - what a difference - ignition timing reset and change of needle and mixture set and the difference in smoothness and pick up is dramatic - Ruby has (as far as we know) a standard 1275 engine with LCB exhaust and a recent unleaded cylinder head and on the rolling road peak power was measured as (flywheel) 72bhp and peak torque 75lbft at 3677 rpm ,
best money we have spent so far on Ruby - well done to Russell who built (rebuilt ) Ruby.
I note on web that claimed bhp for original MG Metro was 73BHP so Ruby sounds to be doing well - thanks Russell
