About the same price as that one in Aussie, sans o-rings, but I have those so not an issue. Only reason it didn't occur to me to check with them first was that all of cooling system parts I asked for were NLA. So I ended up getting waterpump and all hoses etc from RockAuto. 1 Quote
SOHC Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 I need to change the intank fuel pump on a 04 mitsi colt but I cannot get the rear seats to fold up, I am going to cut the rails off with the grinder after lunch Quote
SOHC Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 I have cut it apart with a knife and smashed the release things off with a hammer, just unbolting the frame now after ripping everything off Quote
SOHC Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 I am going to have to take to the rails with a grinder, everything is full of sand from dogs, needs a new rear seat anyway 1 Quote
SOHC Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 My ford v8 crab type distributor cap has 2 holes burnt in the sides onsite each other, its a new cap, I think because its out slightly on its dimensions the rotor had collided with one of the contacts and twisted its end causing it to point about 5mm off on an angle causing the spark to jump?

SOHC Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 The holes are inbtween 4&5 and 6&8 like that cap was extra shit in that place, I need the car for Sunday and every other cap I have is shit in some way Quote
Nominal Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 Is it stopping it running? Bit of JB Weld over the top? Quote
Ghostchips Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 If JB weld or something will hold the dirt out, do it. I once replaced the top of a model A distributor with a popsical stick with wires shoved through little holes. Based that one on stories on the internet. There was a video of someone doing it somewhere but i can't find it now /Ling 2 Quote

SOHC Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 It still runs sweet even with a smashed rotor and 2 holes in the cap but I think it makes it hard to start, I have some Jb weld stuff but I think it contains alloy, I am wondering if the Pertonix flamethrower coil is too much fot this shitty repro cap, I need to find a Mallory one Quote
