How are you "pushing" on the rear axle ? I used an old wooden screwdriver handle with a dimple in the end to hold the "pusher" in place.

If you get it tight and the hub is not moving, a hammer in the right place can often get it to break.

Going to fit the new ignition and new coil.
When I spoke to H&H this morning he told me that need to put heat sink paste (supplied) between the steel mounting plate and the distributor base plate - even though the instructions don’t say that. Instructions just say put some between module and mounting plate, but they came pre assembled and I can see the paste there.
My current distributor...

My understanding is that H&H ignition should only have a 12v coil and needs a 12v supply I.e. no ballast so a DLB101 should be fine. I still think you might need to try the new ignition module with a 3 ohm 12v coil.

John Healey is the new C of E.

We'd all better hope he doesn't follow the theme of the last Healey C of E.

He wanted taxes until the pips squeaked.

Apparently 5.5k-6k is ok, again according to Google. All depends how you ask the question!
Need advice and recommendations from a real human being.

There was a sort of inevitability about this.

The hub nut came off with a bit of leverage, but I can't shift the hub. I've got a couple of pullers - the three-legged ones - but it's surprisingly stubborn, as in utterly immovable.

Any experiences welcome.

Those figures are for non ballast coil, if it was ballast then 5.5k is fine, or at least that’s my understanding.

I’m guessing it’s 5.5k (meter set to 20k ohm scale)
According to Google the reading should be 10k.

Just ordered a new coil from Moss.
It’s a Lucas DLB101, but I just know that if I test it will be same as the others!
My existing Lucas DLB101 has a green label, the new one is red! Why are they different, something else to worry about!

Les,

Are your secondary values correct or typos, the secondary should be about 1000x the value you've given. 5K to 10K ohm or possibly more.
