A needless breakdown. Annoyingly the only modern part on the car and it fails. You can fit points to a cut down base plate pin, you need the one piece points as opposed to the two part ones. Ive had to do this a few times when fault finding on cars fitted with the electronic ignition that requires the cut down pin. Just make sure they move freely as Ive had a set that had been crimped up too tight and would close up on their own. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jase Posted May 9 Author Report Share Posted May 9 (edited) Ordered an updated base plate, two sets of points and condenser, new cap and red rotor arm from the distributor doctor so hopefully no more issues. Just need to remember how to set points up Edited May 13 by Jase Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Adjust the rod like this but first make sure the slave piston is fully retracted in the cylinder: Just coming back to this, do I need to drain the brake fluid from the system to set this up? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobH Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 No. Just keep an eye on the level in the reservoir though, as pushing the slave piston back could cause it to overflow if the fluid level is already high. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jase Posted May 12 Author Report Share Posted May 12 Clutch adjusted- thanks much better and bonnet polished. Need some help with the badge though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
