Well didn’t let It beat me..

I managed to get hold of a second hand bog standard lucas dizzy and ballast resistor, from another member, (thanks Dave).

Plonked the dizzy in, setup static timing, didn’t check anything else, just turned the key and she fired up first time purring like a kitten, (well a loud one). I have to say I was getting pretty pi**ed off but am a happy bunny now.

Obviously there was something fundamentally wrong with my dizzy, so A Mallory Unitlite for my birthday I think.

Just have to sort out the oil pressure problem now, (8 psi MAX), I noticed the oil pump and filter was full of very,very black dirty oil, the so called engine re-build obviously didn’t clean out the old oil properly. I will drop the sump and check the pickup pipe etc.

I have new gears and relief valve to put in anyway.
