Ok cheers for that well ill be on my birthday to

It is like my HJ Premier, it is 12/74 compliance and completed in February 1975. Something delayed the completion of yours if it is 9/77 compliance. Are you sure it is 9/77 and not 10/77 which would be normal to be 10/77 compliance if late October build and then completed in November after it has had stripes added in finishing area.

Your right again it is 10/77 just checked my tags again and booked to get eyes checked asap

keep HJ has bigger power according to HK

[HK1837]

Only when original, blocks are the same otherwise. Power difference is from the original parts: 9.7 vs 9.4 compression (pistons), inlet manifold, carb and timing.
