Not going to be a pilot then Harv

Lol. Colour blindness could explain my propensity for letting magic smoke out of wiring (red wire, green wire?).

It's a quote from Running on Empty though.

Cheers,

Tinkered a bit today ... when I put the pertronix in, I wasn't happy with the 'non-adjustable' air gap being about 60 thou. Every other car I've put them in, I've used the pertronix plastic feeler gauge which is about 30 thou. So, I pulled the distributor out and elongated the pertronix mounting holes.

I put a new rotor button in so I had to revisit the timing --- maybe it's the multifocals, but it's a bit awkward seeing the flywheel mark, so I put one on the harmonic balancer where I can see it

Also pulled the carby off because I wasn't happy with the accelerator pump volume. When I previously rebuilt it, I re-used an old leather plunger because I didn't like the new ones...but I don't think it was sealing properly. I haven't seen any new leather ones lately, so I'll see how one of the new ones goes (got a spare too)

when I put a timing mark on the harmonic balancer, I also put in a line of whiteout for 30 degrees .. bit scrappy but hopefully with the pertronix I won't need to refer to it too often

Thanks Patrick,

Not sure on the diameter of the washers however You should be able to make those leather washers. I have made them before for bicycle pumps and kero blow lamps. They have worked well.

Stephen
