The points removal/electronic ignition conversion, is that wired up correctly with the correct coil/ballast for the application for the unit. 2. Vacuum lines for the carb, are they connected to the correct places to get advance. As well as all the other ports on the inlet, etc. etc. 3. Comp testing should be done at WOT, not sure if it has by those figures. As Phil says, they're low. Probably too low. Yeah I did em on a cold motor because I couldnt get it going.

I think the problem was breather hoses on block looped hence the gasket blow out/oil past rings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldrx7 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Bro, having a wheel fall off ain’t no fun, let alone on the motorway! Hopefully the repairs aren’t too major and you’re enjoying it soon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tassietraveller Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Hey mate, I really enjoyed following the progress on this. You have put a lot of love into the old girl. I have 2 of these. One is running nicely and I'm painting it a panel at a time. The other one I just picked up but has major damage to one side of it that is going to push my limited bodywork skills to the limit. Really cool to see someone dealing with a lot of the same issues I've had. Nick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both drivers side doors and the b pillar are smashed in. Luckily I have access to a spare car (not my other one) that I can go and take some cuts from. The doors on the spare are pretty rusty, so I'll have to weld some patches in on those too. Gonna be a learning experience for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
