Morning Col, i agree, having done this for years with the same gap it threw me right off and as I couldn't find any info on the web with those values it made me wonder .. i'll just carry on as before. Have a great sunday mate and hope your getting the same awesome spring weather as here. Alpine...

I was googling for valve guides and came across this video on YT from Rimmer Bro's on tappet gaps, here the guy says that inlet gaps are smaller than exhaust gaps .. having always done mine both the same I wondered if this is only because its a diesel in the video or is there a trick here that I...

Err no the electronic had no points and the new one from the doctor is ok around 9° .. forgot to point that out ..

Gave up trying to get to the book, just do it now by feel and ear but it way way more than 6° have had a debate about stretched timing chain or a sprocket tooth distance out of alignment, then the 123electronic distributor drove me nuts because the available curves do not really relate to land...

Hey Col, yes I thought about that but actually my doors are rust free due i guess to the fact that as it was a fire tender on the airport that it lived in a heated garage .. oh and my heater works ,, no it really does ;-)

Does anyone know where I can find the rubber seals for the fixed windows on the front doors. I looked at paddocks but couldn't find anything there .. or would a liberal use of silicon sealer work?

Thanks for the help, so looking at the data from the fixed curves there is nothing that actually gets to those values. Here are the two value sets they have., so do you guys think the 2deg difference between them will make a difference? second question do you think that the advance of 26 deg at...

Oh that sounds interesting, can you give me an idea of the difference in your curve and the part number of the coil please.. thanks

is the adjuster under the carb actually doing anything? maybe it's just spinning on the thread or can you see it moving in or out .. I also had a very slight curved needle which prevented the (swiss) MOT from getting the CO2 right but it ran fine .. could be a combination of the two ..

Hi Col, dunno .. maybe its what it promised ( or what i thought it would do) compared to what it has, it always has felt like a weak link and combined with the lack of power around 1500rpm together with no one has been able to decipher the ignition curves. I would like to have something in my...

this Guy has great reviews ... i'm sending him my original Lucas for a refurb and going to stop using the 123 electronic Reconditioned Lucas distributors, rebuilt Lucas distributors, recurved Lucas distributors from Distributor Doctor

Yes I guess on the version Stephen has he can .. on mine the curves are fixed .. it gets it vacuum signal from a pipe to the carb like normal ... Heres the curve data .. can you make any sense out of it? curve advance starts [rpm crankshaft] - 1000 max. advance [rpm] - 4500 [degr...

Me too ... i have had mine now since 2016 and in all that time no one has been able to interpret the data given by 123 and say oh yes for a 2.25 you need this curve, it seems the curves do bear a relationship to an MG and we think that 123 just say that its ok for a landrover as the original...

Thanks Mate, now i've ordered the dizzy and the coil from them .. if my one wife livid ever finds out i'm blaming you :D so that plus valve seals and a new timing chain when the snow clears up here .. it's no fun working in 4 feet of snow and minus 10

Hi Simon .. Simon here from Switzerland. Good to know you got sorted .. I would be interested in knowing about the Dizzy settings, you mention the dwell angle of 56deg .. I'm also running a 2nquarter petrol but with an electronic dizzy from 123, no one so far has been able to tell me what the...

Bob, is that a tricky job, getting the rollers out? .. I just wonder if like the valves I should just replace em anyway ... so like i do the vales and seals plus the rollers and a new composite head gasket .. I mean if i'm also destined to do the timing chain, how much more of a job would it be...

Hi Coll, i did the head gasket when I did the timing chain, if I do the head off and valve seals, would it pay to do new valves?

Right and if i'm going that far in stripping out the front then i might as well go the whole hog and do the camshaft right?

180'000 km

i put additive in when i can find it ...
