Hi all ..Action taken for the engine faultering ..I couldn't get my mind off blaming ignition rather than fuel ..so I purchased and ignitor 2 electronic ignition and fitted it ,checked all the vitals as per the instructions.. 12.54Volts across battery terminals 12.50Volts at battery earth on cylinder head to starter terminal, 0.01 Ohm resistance base plate of module to neg , 10.54Volts with ignition "on" coil to earth ..all in specified range .set the dissy as per the book with vacuum off , which is a working vacuum and power timing light...plug leads are 6mm supression.. start her up running like a hairy goat ..fit a set of Accu checks , Number one and two spark irregular , terrible ..change leads on one and two , no different ...what now
?Go up to museum and get , dissy cap and leads and rotor button ..they are all the same , cap on car and demo engine Bosch , rotor Bosch , GMH OEM
.no visible faults ..6mm supression leads..swapped all that over , bingo, runs like a groomed show prepared stud goat,..put the No. 1 and 2 suspect leads back on , works fine ..so has to be the cap or rotor ...put the other rotor back in , running fine ..has to be the cap , but it looks ok , carbon good , brass terminals good , no cracks , no arcking burns no spark jumping when engine running in dark ..any way i'll put it aside.. ..won't touch set up now , I have another cap to put back in the museum ..sometimes through process of elimination you fix something with out really knowing what you fixed ..I cleaned the fuel tank as best as possible when car restored , I fitted a fuel filter , it has only had about 6 tanks full of fuel through it , but you would imagine any residue of scale would come out in that time so I will fit new filter .So Harv if you read this thanks for offer of carby parts , I hope I dont need them in the future .Vern
