Bristol 410 RPM

[herrbartlet]

I think you're stuck in 2nd! I've just got mine on the road and at 60mph, it's just ticking over at 2000rpm. Haven't been any faster, yet, but at 70mph I'd expect the revs to be in the 2250 to 2500 range. Hope this helps.

Check your rev counter. My 410's rev counter over reads by at least 1000rpm, and I've heard of other cars which suffer this. The speedo waves wildly around a roughly correct centre, but the rev counter is smooth, stable, and wrong. To check it, I bought a cheap laser tachometer from ebay that uses a reflector stuck onto the nose of the crankshaft to count revolutions.
