1950 Bedford KV (214CUi / 3.5 litre straight 6)

Bedford KV (3.5 Litre straight 6) - Tuning by AG Classic Car Tuning

This is a stunning example of a classic Bedford KV commercial vehicle, and well known to those attending Goodwood annually.

The first task was to check the ignition timing markers were true to the real position of TDC, before then establishing the correct static timing of the engine......and of course once running the dynamic ignition timing was also set correctly.

Further tuning included optimising the AC Delco Points dwell angle, spark plug gaps (NGK B6ES) @ 0.024", idle speed, fuelling by gas emissions testing and other fine optimisation for this specific vehicle.


All in all, a stunning, characterful and very high quality classic vehicle.......a pleasure to work on.
