Re: 12v conversion.

indeed you could also fit the lighting coils from a donor px/pk/t5 stator to your stator giving you 12v, and with a regulator rectifier its very easy to do, a new set of points and your good to go, i wouldnt worry about a 6v horn on 12 volt it will work fine

Re: piston info required to use in port timing calculator

cutting the skirt of the piston is the easy way to get more inlet duration but actually enlarging the port will give better results, the exhaust pot widening will depend on your rings

Re: Series 2 side case on TS1??
