So as I'm working at home today, lunch time came and I thought I'd drop off the front bumper.. Think again, two images below, one of the drivers side bolts nice and visible.. Pas side....
Took it out and ran it to get it up to temp then went through setting up the carb as if it was brand new, then took timing back a little. Running now, starts by throwing out a nice puff of white smoke. Then idles okay, still. Think it's not 100% but when is a series 100% haha
The sender unit will be on the top, with spade connection on it, for your dash guage, that's a Cork seal, the you have the filler pipes, jubilee clips secure them. And the fuel pickup itself which will be a seal again cork or rubber I think. But if there is a leak then you'd see/ smell it once the seat is off I'd imagine
Hope you find the issue
Took a while due to other commitments but eventually got the parts needed.. The coil to distributer lead us shorter... So moved the coil a little haha.. Funny how having all cylinders firing makes it work hahaha
Sounded good after warming up carb set better and timing a little advanced, then it just started spluttering again. That's when I then found the above... All fun and games
Alright.. I'm actually in London for a wedding this weekend. And if you read back I think my comment in jest ( the haha gives that away) about it being on any one of the hangers.. Jeez didn't know I had to be so serious about it.
And no its not hard at all... Maybe I'll spend 10 minutes just incase I'm stupid and can't find it...
It rolled off the line on the 14th August 1967.
I have got most of the paint off, can see bare metal and a bit of rust, but no clear sign of numbering. It looks like the original part, or a damn good welder replaced it...
Also I'm looking at the front nearside hanger
It's an S2a and is 52yrs old. After a Web search online from the plate on the bulkhead it came up as dispatched to a dealership in Nottingham. Was just going to see if they matched up.
So I'm thinking of making sure the plate in the cockpit is actually the right one. Which means finding the number on the spring hanger. My truck is 52 and the chassis has paint on it. So I'm thinking thinners to get it down to metal.. But then what, because 52yrs it's not going to be pretty and just show me the stamped number.
Ideas anyone...
So because the weather is rubbish here this evening, my plans of getting out and about were washed away, I have put a little paint onto the winch, will be doing the main plate in matt black and the working area in silver.
