it didnt seem to like revving past about 4000rpm so gave the timing abit of advance earlier and seems better but will test for sure on the way to work tomorrow lol
also adjusted one wiper and did up the other one plus changed the blades, so now park and wipe correctly.
i then gave it a quick clean as it was proper bogging.
also found more jobs to add to the list, the fan is wired so its permanently on which is making the fuse facking hot and i believe this is also making the ignition switch hot, both of which are far from ideal so that needs sorting asap.
trying to decide whether to change the front panel and front wings in time for castle combe, if i do then that means ill also have to mop the rest of the car as well which is just more work to be done in time which i dont have :wtf:
gaffa tape. and abuse it as is.
Sorry to hear it didn't make it home, that's the second alternator I had. I took the 6 month old one back to the motor factors, they havent got back to me yet as it was being sent off to be checked before a refund(must ring them as it was a couple of months ago)
new plugs, leads, cap, rotor arm, points and condenser ordered. will get rid of that bludy missfire. also got some foil tape to fix the exhaust lol and engine degreaser, carb cleaner to attack the engine bay
finally got round to doing abit more work on here today. got the bilstein front suspension on it and then rebuilt the brakes properly. then fitted the front strut brace and reset the front tracking with a tape measure :d. with that done i tried to bodge up the fudged back box with foil tape but this last a matter of seconds lol, so i robbed one of sams bike cans which pretty much went straight on, only thing is now it is literally silent :confused: i dont like it
