it even runs now! spent most of today, saturday, which was glorious working through the various items. First checked it was still free.........it was! Cleaned all the plus and gapped them. had already poured in some diesel into the bores. I had the dizyt restored a few months back and fitted that as well. Was concerned that the valves had stuck but they all seemed fine. Anyway, after cleaning everything and arranging a temporary fuel supplu, guess what? after 26 years and with the least ammount of trouble she ran like a swiss watch! dead chuffed. cant run it for long as the fan is not on and dont have any water in her,but good to know she is still alive!!

Thanks Ron it was very pleasing. One thing thought, stupidly I left the ignition connected to the 6 v coil on the distributor. Cue, nasty smells and black goo. Someone told me that you can use and old 6 volt coil to take the HT lead direct to the new 12v coil. Does anyone know the process for this? I seem to recall it was something about cutting the coil in half and then drilling through the middle to allow the new HT lead to be soldered onto the carbon brush pick up. It may just look a little more original than one of the adapter plates available? I sort of want to get the carrier to move under its own steam before pulling it apart! daft I know but there you are.
