fitted new points today and got a spark at the plugs - also anyone know what the gap should be as i just set it rough?
also fitted the master cylinder for the clutch - in the end i sealed it with 2 copper washers and a steel washer spacer - should be ok
decided to drop the fuel tank next to clean it out and renew the line - no real point getting it started and then having to do it

0.014-0.016" will do you, I set mine to 15 thou and it runs well.

thanks i'll give that a go
managed to get some time on it today got the petrol tank off to unblock the blocked pickup pipe - bit of a suprise as i thought it would only have the 10 litres or so i put in but it was nearly full......... of 20 year old petrol - really dark in colour - so im going to completely empty it paint up the tank as so far it looks ok then fresh petrol before i have a go at starting it
then i'll use up the old petrol diluted a bit at a time .................. cant let it go to waste
also got both rear springs off ready for the parabolics
and welded in the new rear outrigger - but found a few more rot spots in the chassis i'd not seen before - still nothing that cant be fixed............. so far

thought i'd wait untill there actually was some progress before i replied, not had much free time lately but on the plus side my kitchen is nearly in
not much but......... today i took the pickup pipe out of the tank and it was completely blocked i had to use a drill bit to clear it out, i also removed the gauze on the end of it - i dont know what the general consensus is but ive done plenty of Di into mk1/2 transits and they need the in tank filter removing or you can't get enough flow - so i thought i'd remove it as i plan to fit a 200/300tdi in the future

i ordered a full set of GB parabolics - they have turned up today
they are marked n/s and o/s but no front and back - i take it that it doesnt matter which way round they go??

pretty sure that the back is longer and won't fit the brackets if in the wrong place
