Managing Director – Bridge Classic Cars
We secure all the bolts and tried the clutch and it feels good. Re-fit oil filter housing and new filter. Fill with oil and run up. We’ve then topped up the oil.
Tested clutch bite point on the ramp before refitting interior and the bite point seems a little high. We’ve adjusted the arm to the thrust bearing, re-test and all is now ok.
Refit tunnel, carpet and both front seats.
Then we’ve back on to the service items. Stripped and fitted new points and condenser but can’t get them to spark.
Removed and isolated the base plate with fibre washer and tested but still not insulated.
Remove contacts and isolate with fibre washer and test. All is now ok so we’ve set the points to 0.016″ and refitted cap and rotor before retesting. Starts and runs ok.
Fitted a new inline fuel filter underneath. Remove and blow out air filters and clean casing. Refit and secure.
