Cheers mate, quality as always. Since buying the car everyone has been securely up my a**e about switching to electronic ignition. So out of stubbornness I'm going to keep the points going.
have been having distributor issues on my 59 morris lately, so this was something of a blessing! it's my first car, so i'm not much experienced with all this 'points' magic yet, besides some fuel pump jiggery-pokery, but i'm figuring it out (just about)!
I was always ham fisted as an apprentice and it would take 3 attempts to get points set correctly, I would tighten the lock screw and that's where it all went to hell in a hand cart! 😂
Entertaining and informative , well done i wanna see more of this kinda stuff , yep sure i know how to set points etc but really like your entertaining style , ohh and being nosey now but are you also into building models etc ?
How I remember this, set point gap, stacit timing, then strobe timing, check dwell (I think it was called ). Then the v8, two sets of points twice the fun. Not many people have your knowage in this day
If you do go with leccy ignition don't buy the full dizzy kit... they are cheaply made in China with bob weights and springs that might be way out from the curve of the original dizzy. Some are so poor the shaft doesn't even fit the hole in the block! Always best to buy a leccy kit to fit to an existing original dizzy. That should be no more than £40. At least then you know the dizzy is OK. I've had issues with cheap condensers.. they reduce the length of wire inside to save money. And because they are so cheap there are no comebacks.
