Standard air filter replacement filter element
Is there a more efficient filter element for the standard oval Tiger filter?
Re: condenser
I had similar problems. Changed to electronic ignition, it transformed the car.

Final rive ratio
The handbook does not state the final drive ratio. I want to calibrate my speedo and rev counter.
Can anyone help?
How many mph per 1,000 revs in top?
This is for a standard Mk1 260cu-in

Lowering rear suspension
Does anyone supply plates to lower the rear suspension by roughly 2cm?
Presumably I'll need longer U-bolts too.

Minilites
Minilite recommend 6.0x15 for the front and 7.0x15 for the rear.
So what tyres do I get and what profile?
195 front and 215 rear seem best but what profile 55, 60 or 65?

Solved
I broke the number one rule when trying to cure a problem - do not replace several components at once.
It turned out that the new condenser was faulty!
Thanks for everyone's help tackling this, at least I now have new points, distributor, ballast resistor, coil fuel pump and rotor arm!
