Re: Protecting bonnet louver paint
Your manifolds will definitely be the issue here. That’s why the standard are a better bet.

Re: 3rd time lucky?
I can confirm that even uk S2 cars had the cutouts. My May 1970 UK car has them.

Re: Ballast resistor
I have some experience of the pertronix on my S2 E, albeit the points replacement system rather than the whole dizzy. Your coil will be matched for a ballast resistor system, so removing it will need a coil replacement, so leave it be. However, the important thing is that your pertronix has a clean ...

Re: This does not feel right
Typical pre- pack arrangement. Leaves an unpleasant taste. However, in these days of social media power, I’d suggest the bigger fuss you and others can make, the better..... This company will fail if enough previous customers make enough noise... “goodwill” goes both ways. As an example, I’d not tou...

Re: Rotor arm identification
Save yourself a heap of heartache down the line and go to the distributor doctor and get one of his.
It won’t short out or break... excellent service and you’ll get it quickly too!

Re: Ignition Lead Set
Colin Basically with electronic ignition you shouldn’t use copper core leads. You need a surpressed set (silicon etc) so they don’t upset the electronics. I’ve got pertronix on mine with modern leads that are surpressed but look original. As for your question on the brass screws, mine came from SNG ...

Re: Ignition Lead Set
https://i.postimg.cc/ZRQ48thF/image.jpg Hopefully this helps? The brass screw simply screws into the end of the lead, into the conductor. Don’t forget to push the acorn plug on first! Mine had a slight misfire on acceleration..... did everything on the ignition side, but it just got worse over time...

Re: Wet plug fouling
Can’t help with the problem but can help on your cylinder numbering!
That’s cylinder 4 They’re numbered from the bulkhead to the front of the car.
I’m sure a techie bod will be along in a minutewith ideas on the issue......

Re: Slow fuel pump?
Had one of those annoying “cant find the fault” scenarios last summer, which turned out to eventually be the pump in my S2 on its way out... replaced it and all was fine again.... A click every seven seconds when the bowl is empty sounds much too slow... it should click like a ratchet until it’s ful...
