Hi, should be the brown earth wire that goes on the distributor mounting stud. I sympathise with your dilemma, I will be 71 this year, and I lost the best part of ...

Hello, 125 psi is ok but not great. What petrol are you using?? (98RON, no alcohol) What is the ignition timing angle at tickover and at 3200 rpm??.

Hello,

A 2litre CU in good form produces about 70 bhp.

You can then crimp and exhaust mastic seal as required. Make sure you have all new gaskets, nuts bolts and probably exhaust...

Hello, I have had flexy solar panels on my van for about 10 years. I find they last about 5 to 7 years. The test voltage comes up alright at 18 volts, but only 500 ma instead of between 8-10 amperes under load.  I changed the latest 1 by cutting the cables off the old panel and splicing in the new p...

Hello, Haha the same year van as me.... 8) Yes it is about time for you to change the ignition system. For me there are 2 good options. 1).      Fit a new Powerspark SVDA ignition with a new coil. Here:  https://youtu.be/WJPyPuJZkHU  and:   https://youtu.be/L6dfb7ELtSc 2).      Fit a points and cond...
