Have you checked the ht leads or moved the dizzy?
Put up a comprehensive list of what you’ve checked.
What happens when you drive it?

Hmm, if it was me I’d give it a it a tug and twist. I’ve changed the pushrod numerous times and they’ve always come out easily. Have you removed the plastic pedestal?

How did the arm get damaged?

A few years ago when I had cooling problems and suspected the fan I was chatting to Mr B from Brickwerks who said he’d only had about 2 failed fans in all the years he’d been in business.

Does it stall when driving and coming to stop at lights etc, mine has the same symptoms as yours i thought it had been resolved by cleaning the springs as mentioned above. Since bought a carb rebuilt kit which is yet to be done. Not sure if linked to my problem but I also replaced the filter near t...

We have an air awning. It slides into the c channel fixed to the van and with a drive away strip allows you to drive off and leave it standing if you have one that has a gap between the main room and the van which I think most have.
It fits older and newer vans.

I’ve used it in the past. It will only creep into where it’s needed so just run a tiny bead around the rubber to the metal and it’ll flow into any gaps.

As mentioned plus check the inlet manifold gasket.
Get someone to carefully spray some carb cleaner around it and see if it picks the revs up.

Does it leak, I can’t tell by properly by the photo?
Obviously some previous owner repair of some sort in the past. You could always use a simple pump to remove the old oil while you see how lucky you feel before removing it.

I now use Buzzweld Chassis Guard. Easy to apply and a little goes a long way. You need to touch up areas after about 6 months but as it’s easy to use it’s not been a problem. Previously I had used Waxoyl, both clear and black but I found that it corroded underneath especially on the trailing arms th...

Brickwerks sell it, iirc it’s 7mm id but best to double check.
David.

When my van started to have a bad idle and then cut out at junctions it was the inlet manifold. By spraying carb cleaner around this area while someone sat in it to keep it ticking over the revs picked up indicating a leak. As mentioned it’s easy to check the coil/ ht leads with a multi meter. There...

It looks worse than it is, honestly.
