Muppet!
I've refitted the ballast resistor you sent me by the way. When the guys were sorting the engine out last week they found a wiring diagram for the electronic ignition in a Haynes manual for a Range Rover. It showed the resistor fitted, so we figured we should put it back in.

3 afternoons & 2 lengths of ERW tube, just to make a short water pipe across the top of the engine. It doesn't always go right the first time. I'd originally planned to run without a heater, so blanked off the water inlet & outlets on the engine. Then changed my mind, picked up a cheap heater from Ebay & had to rework things. We decided the big 3/4 inch bore rubber tube from the water pump looked a bit naff draped across the top of the manifold, so I made up a steel pipe to route it around the carb. Once it's powder-coated or chromed it'll hopefully blend into the rest of the motor. The return pipe attaches to the back of the manifold. Just need to hook them up to the heater inside the cab now. Had a visit today from Scottie of Moving Hotrods ltd. He was delivering a broken VW Polo for Loony to work on. Scottie & his good lady Gina belong to the Wild Bunch nostalgia drag racing club & run the Tiki Munki drag car. Open this month's Custom Car magazine & you'll find the man & the car featured & in the centrespread. Manky -friend to the stars.  |

You only require a ballast resistor if running a 9v coil Andy.......Morrag

I know, I know. Like I said, when the guys consulted a wiring diagram for the electronic ignition set-up it showed a ballast resistor fitted, so we bunged one in. It's no problem to take it back off before it's properly wired. Terry, I'm working my way through the engine bay, hooking up the various hoses, cables etc to make it driveable. The water system needs to be complete so it'll circulate around the motor, which is why I'm sorting the heater pipes out now. As posted in the wanted section, we also need to find transport to get the truck to the WheelsDay show. 8 weeks eh? No pressure then. I like to drop the word chrome in every now & then, just to annoy you lot! |
