in two minds on this subject. i used to have an 803 with a 5.1 diff. i then changed to 948 and a 4.5. slightly better i'd say. then i fitted a 3.9 and it wouldn't pull away to quick. so i came to the conclusion that i'm happy with a 948 and a 4.2. i still have the 3.9 diff though. someone will want ...

yes RH for me. £58 all in with unlimited milage

I'm of two minds on this one really. On the one hand, I'm not much of a fan of regulations, &c., and to be honest the safety aspect doesn't really bother me. However, I already have visions of the baying mob demanding that "something must be done" after a brakeless A30 runs into a bus...

i run my car with discs and without a servo. no problems at all.

pukka news. i means the value of pre 1960 cars will increase...... mine will be worth more!

think of it like this............ turn the nut towards the front of the car to tighten it. it's the same principle for both sides.

ok, where do i attach the light?

can someone explain how this is done?

or better still, how to set up static timing when you have at TDC

thanks

a good friend of mine who used to post on here a few times, has sadly gone. dellerie, who was a friend for many years, died in a tragic accident last sunday whilst doing what he liked the most, working on his car. whilst working underneath it gave way even though axle stands were in use as well as t...

realised my stupidity this morning when i cut off the outer wiring harness and saw that the white/black wire was infact, the same wire. :oops: i would like to apologise to those that i got the rage with. (especially BMC). i'm new to all this classic car world and am trying to learn as i go along. ma...

Hi Ampwhu, I think it is wrong of you to have a dig at bmc when he has tried hard to help you. I don't know the guy but in the short time I have been using the forum I can tell he is a wealth of knowledge and very helpful. Good luck with the A35 i don't consider that i had a 'dig'. he see's things ...

After all this farce (over nothing!) - perhaps you now understand why it was suggested to you that 'electronic ignition' was not necessary - nor is this so called 'upgrade' necessarily desirable. You fitted points etc - and the engine ran. It's trying to tell you something!! Right at the beginning ...

Hello Ampwhu, I have said that in many posts on this saga to try and sort out your problem! Alec fair point. i was getting all flustered and prabaly didn't read it. i'm not going to be trawling back through the thread either! thanks gents, it won't be until the weekend now as i have a lot on until ...

ok then. why have others made it so confusing. i shall try this and get back to you fine gentleman. i do hope this is worth it in the long run.

I can see why I am confused now. The first photo was from Lord Anthony!!! (Keep up!! ) From your photo I would ignore the whites with a black trace that went to -ve coil and dizzy, put the white on +v coil with the red, and put blue on -ve coil. plain white to + on coil red from module to + on coil...

Hello Ampwhu, from what I can see the wire to the distributor is white\black, not white as you keep saying. The secondary colour is important in sorting out wiring problems. Also the other white is white\black and goes to the coil, the other white goes to the opposite coil terminal. So the two whit...

i have no idea why, but i can't see the wood through the tree's on this one. if you asked me to fit you a new hot water cylinder of a new F & E cistern, no problem. but electric's.............. nah!

Hello Ampwhu, as far as I know the A35 follows conventional Lucas colour codes so there should not be a yellow wire to the dynamo, They should have brown as a main colour. Has this been rewired by someone? However as I said several post ago, this is academic. Find which white wire is live when you ...

sometimes in life...... you sometimes doubt yourself and think, am i correct? well today i popped up to the lock up where the car lives and had a quick look under the bonnet...... just to satisfy that i do indeed, know what i am talking about. i actually took a decent enough photo with my mobile pho...

i must point out that its an A30 i have and not a moggy. but they are the same in principal. there is definatly 3 wires.
