Good feedback, thanks. Probably needs a longer cut-out to be sure what the timing light is doing.

I know that when people first change from points to electronic that they can find the timing has moved quite a bit and that is because the electronic trigger 'firing' point isn't in the same place on the mounting plate as where the points opened. However I'm surprised that has happened usin...

That also shows fairly equal pressure all round from the piston although it is offset towards the inner (when fitted) edge edge as that is how the pads are bonded to the backplate, your pressure points do seem biased towards the inner edge.

It was cheap anyway as the business was going bankrupt I went with him to meet the flat bed transporter that was picking it up. As we looked over the car my son noticed there was no buzzing sound as he we...
