I'm using the electronic ignition - distributor and amp - off a series 3 XJ6. Works fine .. and its a Jaguar item !

I had something like that many years ago on a Ford Capri - it turnd out to be the condensor. Also had something like that on a much older car even earlier in my motoring youth and changing the coil and condensor cured it

I only did 1000 last year. This year I aim to better that

Hi Dave,

I emailed him that same question myself: he's using stainless steel rods for the anode and cathode

For anyone interested in doing their own Nickel plating - much cheaper than buying the kits.

Andy, the oil in the carb dashpots only effects hard acceleration so it won't be that as long as there is oil in there. I'm assuming that the points, plugs etc have been checked and are fine ? If you think it is fuel starvation an easy test is to pull the choke out a bit when it happens and see if t...

Thanks David I'll give it a try. Sorry I missed you at Tatton, it was pretty hot all day and the park was full. I don't know if you saw the maroon S2 Coupe right in front of mine, he has done a top class job on that car. I just don't know how he can use it AND keep it that clean. I mean clean is an ...
