Cheers

cheers, might be a daft question but how do you line up the sensor so you can gap it?

the rotor arm should point to the little marker on the dizzy body, turn the engine over to align the phase sensor so it lines up with the cam on the dizzy, but ignore engine timing position..... i think!

so its a game of turning it over till it lines up? this could take some time
cant you turn it over by hand and do it that way?

Cheers for the quick replies, much appreciated
Gotta love this place

Excellent, no excuse now for it not to start when I've finished
Expect a post in a bit "car wont start again"

Although no better than before so all the things I've swapped havent cured anything, so it looks like it needs a setup
