Hi Mal again :D The ignition light is very simple wiring, should be white wire from ignition live of ign switch, to ign light, then from from ign light, brown & yellow wire [if original] to the white wire on your alternator. The voltage you have is fine, but like I said if you don't have the ign lig...

Hi Mal Car looks great. From the first pic's you posted, I did not expect you to end up with such a nice car. So well done. You will have to find an other project now. As I have enjoyed following the progress, from afar. One last thing[and you don't have to answer] How many penny's ? Happy Tigering ...

I have just got myself an GPS tracker off ebay for £48 delivered and I must say I think it's the dogs wotsit. I now have my car as a contact in my mobile, call it and it texts me back to let me know it's ok, and where it is. if the car moves it sends a text to let me know. So for the price, they are...

Hi Mal Are you sure it's not a fuel problem, what carb are you running, as one venturi feeds 4 cyl and the other the other 4 with some carb and manifold set ups.

The oil cooler was on the car when I got it, so have never run it with out to compare, but I have no cooling probs so maybe it works. Harry ps. get rid of...
