Thank you! Would I need them for the rear wheels also?
Do you press out the old studs from the brake drum?

Re: No spark
Excuse my ignorance what is the dizzy? Do you mean the distributor cap? Do I test the main lead by taking not off the distributor cap end and put to earth and turn the car over?
I have replaced the plugs but will put points and condenser in and see what happens! Thanks for the advice

No spark
Hi My 68 four door doesn’t have a spark at the plugs!
I have changed the coil still no joy
I did fit an ecuspark unit 2 years ago And has been running fine since my question is could that have failed and how would I check low tension spark?
Thanks
