According to NGK website engine codes before ct065010 have short plugs mines something like ct045..so that should be ok. Think I will still replace plugs and leads to be on safe side though. Was reading through silverfoxes posts and I seem to have the same running problem when accelerating ie slow to pickup through gear change a little flat. Wonder if thats why garage set timing so badly as it was a lot spritelier when I first drove from their.

More work to do me thinks...

Ok. Going to take the plunge and fit retro svda. Probably get it from simonbbc. Silver fox what contact points did you upgrade to and where did you get them.

Sarran, any idea when part 2 will be on YouTube for the halls removal.
