The 'E' Type Forum

I would like to see the MOT continued even though i look after my car myself.I treat it a bit like a double check with a fresh pair off eyes and to check brakes and hand brake are working at there best.I think insurance companies might want some kind of test of road worthiness in the future? perhaps...

I did it on my 63 car, the clevis came out with pedal box in place.Instead of using a split pin I used an R clip much easier.

Adam

Sorry to have confused things with my problem but its now fixed. It turns out it was the regulator box.I found this on the 123 web site. It looks like my engine misfires after a few kilometers driving what can i do. In some cases a very unstable boardnet voltage can cause misfire.The 123 ignition is...

second that on the Redline MTL total transformation in my moss box.

Adam

I will leave it for a couple of days and start working through it again.

Non resistor caps and plugs.

Adam

I used silicon resistor leads as recommended by 123 and the original lucas DLB105 gave no problems for 9 years.
Adam

I think its ignition based, on the 123 the cap and rotor are bosch items and used genuine parts.I think it could be the dizzy itself but dont know how to test it and havent got a spare.

Adam

I have changed plugs plug caps leads rotor arm and dizzy cap and coil.

Hi, its serviced every year, 123 distributor only needs cap and rotor arm replacing every 40000 km. Carbs rebuilt in the last 15000 miles, tried using choke to see if it made difference to hesitation no difference.

Adam

Thanks for the reply,I set the plugs to 25 thou and also checked fuel filter, clean as a whistle.

I have a hesitation when my car pulls between 1500 and 2250 revs, occasionally. My car is a 3.8 with a 123 distributor and standard air filter. I have replaced plugs NGK BP5ES dizzy cap & rotor arm both of which were black and pitted, leads also replaced. 123 distributor has been fitted for over nin...

It looks to me that they are plating the gold rather than solid. The growlers are strung up for plating in jaguars blurb.

Merry Christmas to all and a big thank you to David for keeping the Forum running.

Big thanks to David I get lost without the forum.

Adam

Great job for sorting it out.

Thanks Adam

My 123 has been fitted for 8 years no problems at all fit and forget.

Adam

Looks like S3 hub caps might be more in demand now?
