That looks nice and clean !

Only thing to suggest is to have a look at the inside of the distributor cap and rotor arm and follow the HT leads to make sure there hasn't been any chafing.

You should be called "Mr Bling!"

Very nice Shock

That car reminds me a bit of that old shed that was on display at the duxford show the other week :wink:

Having done mine, I would suggest you check/change the steel pipe in the centre of the V' at the rear that goes to the heater rad.

- steve.s - 16 May 2008

hi

yes the steel pipe under the y pipe, can look ok but the ends could be rusty.

mine was in a bad way.

i painted my valley with ht paint, and put plenty down those holes. has been cases of corrosion eating into the block to the oil ways.

i had millions of pine needles everywhere, and even sand down there

also time to bleed the clutch!

- Dodgy Motor - 16 May 2008

Thanks guys :wink:
Ill check all you said and bleed the clutch to wash new fluid right through.
Cap and rotor ,leads etc were the first things I checked, and all look in fine fettle,Thanks Nik Smile
