ddmcse. I thank you very much that was just the type of thing that i was looking for. I have had alook at your pics of you car you look like youve gone to town on yours and are probably the type of person who may be able to give me advise. but saying that I do not wish to impose to much on one. person. i have also stripped and cleaned everthing. after your healp I got the car running to a good degree. But then after buying a second hand distributor I decided to clean it up. Do you know the correct gap setting for the air gaps in the distibutor.
