  1. yea true that... it has an alarm and immobiliser also but that appears to be working fine when its immobilised theres no power at the coil and when i press the beep beep button there is power there

  2. my little hilux appears to have no spark out the plug leads about a month ago i replaced the coil,plugs,points,dizzy cap and rotor so these should still be fine yes?..

    also i do have power to my coil and earth

    im gonna replace the condenser and earth wire in the distributer tomorro as it looks a little ratty

    any guidence on other things i should look for would be much appreciated!

  3. i bought round ones for mine there out of a landrover its just a round rubber peice with a bolt out either side an i chopped the old rubber peice off the mount then drilled into that mount put a nut on the other side and that has worked for me no longer breaking engine mounts

  5. yea i found out the stock settings which are 10-22 and i originally had them at 12-22 anyway got some advice from a guy whos rebuilt a couple of these and he said with my lumpy cam i should set them at 10-16 and this has made it run a fuck load better.......still i seem to have a bit of a problem with what feels like flooding if you take off and put yor foot down it stays at the same sorta speed for a while before it actually goes and also theres absolutely no way you can take off on a hill as it plops and farts away.........iv set the timing slightly advanced,and iv also tried 3 different carbs the standard sport twin throat and two 2L ones it actually goes a slight bit better with th 2L one on it.....................any ideas guys?

  6. yay its all back in now sounds pretty agressive with the new cam in it all i needa do now is get some brake fluid and bleed the brakes(i replaced a couple of brake lines in the engine bay) and make up a couple of spacers for the electric fan as its hitting the rad
