Re: Head Part ID
A washer is not required, just screw it in and tighten.

Re: Rack damper pad
I just need an idea so that I can get the material before I remove the rack, I don't want to purchase bar which is way over size.

Re: Rear Disc Brake Conversion
You need to fit a 10lb brake valve on the pipe to the rear. They keep the rear shoes in contact with the drum. You have to remember that you have removed the top hat seal from the master cylinder.

Re: wires connected to coil
Have you tested the old coil? You should have about 3.5 ohms resistance across the coil terminals.

I think that this post is related to a previous one. The poster drove home and the engine starts but cuts out after a few seconds

Re: suddenly cutting out after starting up
It could be a lot of things and everyone will have a different idea as its difficult to diagnose without the car in front of you. I personally would now look at the condenser and coil.

Re: Fuel smell
Try tightening the sender unit fasteners, but be aware that you can overtighten them which crushes the gasket. Also you do not need any sealant with a cork gasket.

Re: Fuel not pumping through
IIRC there is a filter inside the tank, I would be tempted to syphon out as much fuel as possible, remove the sender unit then have a look inside. You can do this with the tank still inside the car. Obviously no naked flames etc.

Re: Fuel not pumping through
Are you sure the problem is with the pump, have you got a spark when the engine dies?paul 300358 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 14, 2023 1:43 pm Have you considered that the problem could be electrical?
If you run the engine then turn off the ignition as soon as the engine stops, is there fuel in the float chamber?

Re: Starter motor problem
Before removing anything check the battery. Put the headlights on and turn the key, are the headlight going dim?

Re: Rear Suspension Overhaul Advice please
I changed my springs last year with a set from a usual supplier, they lasted about two months before the bump stops hit the pad over any bump. I contacted Jones springs who made me a set to the original specification, they cost quite a bit more but are worth it. The others at the back of my workshop...

Re: Ran out of fuel, now have issues.
Sorry, I didn't spot that. I would be tempted to put a set of points and condenser on it then try again.
