The car ran perfectly with the loan manifold chamber for 275 miles of motorway, A roads and urban crawl.

Also today I sealed all the ports on my original throttle body/manifold chamber assembly except for the air intake. I then applied leak detecting spray around the screwed joint in the manifold and, using an electric garden leaf disperser and a funnel, blew air in through the throttle wedged open. Admittedly the velocity was excessive but there was not the slightest hint of a leak through the screwed seam. However I'm not satisfied that this was a reliable test. Finally I removed some gum deposits on the outlet ports to the R.H. bank (those which locate over the green seals). My original chamber is still on the bench as tomorrow I plan to telephone the smoke testing company and seek their opinion on any tests that can be done. Simon
