Is the carbon brush in the centre of the distributor actually touching the rotor arm?

Last V5 issued December last year, either he's sold it or he's moved house.

Good turnout tonight, thanks to everyone who came along. Special thanks to those who bump started my car after it failed to start even with jump leads. Got home ok but looks like the battery is shot because it wouldn't restart when I got back.

It's close enough. You'll probably need to adjust the position slightly to get the exhaust to miss the steering shaft.

Next Wednesday 30th 6pm onwards, Malt Shovel Pub, Coventry Road, Nr Stonebridge, Coventry, CV7 7HL. Generally they're trying to kick us out just after 930pm so if you're coming, don't leave it too late. Also, if you want to eat, book beforehand as they don't normally let people just rock up and eat. Entrance to the pub car park is off the A452 Chester Road heading North 50 yards from the island. Everyone welcome, see you there.

This is the panels sheet supplied with the 2B kit.

I'm bumping this thread in case anyone else needs a cheap alternator or wants to keep a spare on the shelf. Still available at a bargain price. https://www.eurocarparts.com/p/rtx-alternator-401680812

Can you add Jackie and me please.

Hope to see you soon Mark. I will start organising some runs out in April so maybe I'll see you then.

Always used the 90 degree twist method on Pinto cambelts. The more modern stuff usually has pointers on a spring loaded tensioner that have to be lined up.

Should be correct then. The real test would be whether you can get the locking tool back in but personally I wouldn't worry about a bit of slack between the cams when it's not running. Any slack soon disappears once the belt is moving.

When you fitted the belt, did you lock the cams and slacken the cam pulleys before you tensioned the belt?

Right, I'm going to have to cancel the meal due to lack of interest. The monthly meet will still go ahead for anyone who wants to come along, 7PM onwards.
