you've checked the points gap is right? easy mistake

I don't have a proper feeler gauge set, but i have one random gauge from a set that is .05 to big, so i just set it so it just cant slip in... Its the best i can do with what i have
pay day is going to be good this week so i might have to get some new toys
I don't have my workshop manual on me atm (It in Annie and i can't be bothered moving )
But It has the correct settings and i will have another go on thursday with my new toys

Does any one have or know where i can get a new Ignition barrel? the guts has fallen out of the back of mine...
The steering lock still works But after a good look it seems like the electics decided that the zip tie holding them in wasn't good enough anymore...??

Looks like my grandad had dodgy'd up a few things

If you are buying toys get a dwell meter to set the points, far more accurate than feeler gauge. you can get them combine with a timing light if you haven't got one of those. Everytime you adjust the points you adjust the timing.
All the best, enjoy

That sounds like a plan! Aslong as the wallet will allow lol.
But if i can get both thru work (Repco) then im sorted, Got to LOVE staffies!!

"Repco, whata orto stor orta be" If they can't supply them then they shouldn't advertise themselves as an Auto Store!

Lol
I know we have timing lights,its just if we have dwell meters in stock.
Might have to get one in... Ill get one at a good price dw

you can use a multi meter as a dwell meter but forgot how.

Ive got an expensive multimeter lol I just need to =know what im looking for and where...

If you're going to buy a timing light, buy one with a "dial back" feaure. It'll cost more, but will be helpfull if you ever get onto building performance e engines.

What is the advantage of the 'dial back' feature?
