Something similar happens on the factory V8. The hose curves forwards to clear the pump fitting behind it, then backwards to clear the anti-roll bar in front. But with some hoses even when the hose i

A friend fitted one to his factory V8 which I think just connected to the switched side of the coil. I was a bit concerned about this as it was adjustable and he set it using the cars rev counter so

That's one of the reasons for dipping them in Waxoyl before fastening them. And if you have added extra sound and heat barrier you can hardly blame the OEM spacers, with standard carpet and insulatio

Yes, I paint the length of the strip. Waxoyl is such that that it 'reflows' when it gets hot like in the summer sun, so I reckon any scrapes will get recovered. You'll be wiping off runs for a few da

Did you replace the condenser? A failed one will give lots of sparking at the points but very little at the plugs. With a good one you should be able to get a blue spark and a sharp 'crack' of at lea

Nowhere, complete distributors are unobtanium unless refurbished second-hand, and you need to know who did them and how good a job they did. But my distributor has had no centrifugal and no vacuum ad

Usually excessive revs is said to pump up the lifters (although looking at the design of the lifter I can't see how unless one is getting valve bounce). The engine pump presents oil to a cavity that

That *is* high, for what is said to be a high-flow rather than a high-pressure engine. I have heard that very high pressures can cause erosion of the soft-metal in the bearings, possibly more of a pr

Make sure you have the spacer and distributor drive gears the right way round on the camshaft, and like Larry, don't ask. If the oil flows with a drill on the pump shaft then it will with the distrib

Yes and no. There is a port on the inlet manifold for vacuum advance, and leaving it open will adversely affect the mixture. A question for anyone who has seen this....I have a 79 MGB, and saw that I

Unlikely, as long as your carb has the proper restricted vacuum port for the job. The PCV was used on the 4-cylinder Bs because it was using full inlet manifold vacuum, it was deleted when the vacuum

Worse than that. Because of the different lengths if you swap the shafts between casings the splines at the diff either go in too far to the spider gear or nor enough. This is the worst possible thin
