The Cock and Bull closed for reno's, BYO

Better than new

Mate might turn up on this. Other mates coming in mint Rover V8 and 300hp turbo volvo

Subway moving in downstairs, should be open next month.

Sorted, as per instructions above. Seems to work well, just need to fining adjust timing with light. Thanks.

Just back from epic bike ride. Will try that in the AM thanks

Brought new electronic dizzy and coil. Fitted as per instructions but escort wont start. Rested spark plug on block and it has a good spark. Had No1 piston at top of stroke, timing mark at TDC, dizzy rotor pionting to No1 lead on dissy cap. Few back fires up through carb. 180 degrees out????

How big was that rear window in the Viva wagon? Just needs rear wheel tubs and a V8

Thanks for the answers guys, think I will get new vacuum dissy.

Have being given a near new non vac dissy for my Escort, and wondered if it would work. Running 32/36 Weber with the vac hose to dissy

What do you have to do to an engine to change from vac dissy to a non vac dissy? Any avantage?

Drag to burger fuel on the 17th. Will hoon around your house tonight. Need to have beers and cigars for Billy

It also makes the carb problems go away, 32/36 running the best it has:)

Still trying to get it running100%. Dissy is worn, so swapped it with the one on the old 1300cc. gone from a Motocraft to an old FoMoCo. Seems to have done the trick. Doesnt die when pulling up to a stop. Just need to borrow timing lite for fine adjustment. Think I will get a new dissy when money re-enters my wallet.

Haven't heard it in the hood yet.

Had new shocks fitted in the front. Also needed front wheel bearings and RH side ball joint, rear brake cylinders $$$$$$$$$$. Turns out the rear brake line that runs across the diff wasn't flared on the ends. Is now. Got a WOF, just. Different testing station, but they knew it was a 1600cc. They let it thru as my mechanic mate took it in. Need to get cert. Mechanic got pissed off with it as the dissy is worn and the 32/36 is much the same so he had trouble getting it running right. $$$$$$$ might get a new 32/36 off ebay when $$ come my way. They are selling new eletronic dissy's on TM for $220 so might get one. Fitted a MK2 throttle cable which is quite a bit different to a MK1, but got it sorted. Just need some fine weather now. Ahh the joys of classic motoring:/

I had a 1979 280zx back in 1990. Replaced both doors because of rust then. Admire your courage:) Should join the Z club for parts.

Now know what you mean about the gear change!! 3rd type ive had to remember now.

No WOF, car getting left rear brake fixed for the second time in 6 months, and may need new steering rack:( Good news is the mighty Honda CG125 is running like a wet dream. Sadly no WOF or rego.

Wondered what time you started work!!

Have you checked out the CG125 owners club website? Quite good. States if bike running rich, check the airfilter.

pass, beyond my knowledge! Does T stand for top dead centre?

Change the condenser as well. Lift the tank off to find it.

Nice car! Girlfriends money well spent on a good investment. Not keen on the wheels.

Yes they do, thanks for the swap.
