    V8 timing

    I found on my 110 the original ignition system was far too weak, so I gave my ignition system a boost with a MSD 6AL digital with a MSD Blaster coil, I will never look back, starting from cold is a breeze. But as above I have my timing set to 6 degrees BTDC and im idling around 800 RPM.

    Flashing trailer warning light.

    Hi Phill, Thanks for replying. My original relay was a blue one, but the side melted, so I got a replacement from RimmerBros which was black, I don't think it was a Lucas one tho. Ok so things I will have to check are my earths to the relay, fuse box and all indicators. Thanks for your help.
