Cheers Bruggz, the oil leak is an easy fix just shortened my track time, and yeah very photogenic, looks like a bucket of aids to the naked eye

So chucked a battery and a bottle of octane booster in the old girl today and got her running to move it around the yard, ended up going and clearing out some cobwebs in the backyard :P https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSz2lcmZ3Ts Then later on i had to jump at the chance of getting a photo with all ...

Looks mint dude

People started freaking out a little when i lined the car up to go on track and then started ripping it apart

Well today she got a good Flogging, We had a Breakfast and Happy laps session due to start at 6:30, Gates opening at 5:30am. We had some insane fog around, bareyly could see 10m ahead of myself on the way there, and due to this fog not lifting our session had to be pushed back till 12:30. Dispite th...

I have read that a few places also

Just tested to see what volts the Coil is getting 5v with ignition on but engine not started and around 10v with the engine started, this doesnt seem right to me, should be more around 6v off and 12 volts on correct?? anyways new ballast resistor is at the auto shop, will go pick it up now and chuck...

yes, it is idling on the high side, cant find the idle screw on the carby, think its been covered up by a bracket so have to pull it apart and go hunting :P but in saying that, the idle was correct when i put he carby on and had it run perfect for a good while. Another thing someone mentioned too me...

yeah, thinking worn dizzy gear, so im swapping it out to see what happens, also found this this morning https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOHv-krNSbk Normally whenever my tacho plays up i check my condenser and it seems to have rattled loose, take it off, clean the area and put it back on and i have n...

Ok so being able to spin it left or right by a cm or so isnt bad With it installed? If so there is something really wrong. It should feel smooth between lobes when the points aren't 'breaking'. Just out of curiousity, what ignition glitches are you experiencing? Bit late but got a video of what i w...

Coil is 6 months old
points even less, leads are less than 6 months old, same with plugs

high rev hesitation and misfires

Define play geezer, are we talking side to side play or up down and everywhere play??

might be haha, your rotor button is the same as this correct?

sadly scorpma it would be second hand but with new points, rotor button and condensor.

75glnt, check again, yours is a Mitsu dizzy

Im thinking of swapping out my distributor temporarily from the Mitsubishi one to the Bosch one to try and see if it resolves some problems im having. Anybody have experience with both and can recommend which one is better if they differ performance wise at all? Ill be going ahead with the swap tomo...

As for the igniter, you can actually build one. There was one in Silicon Chip many, many years ago, which does seem to work well. I have it on my points dizzy, although we did experience some issues... it had problems starting up when the engine was cold. At the time, we couldn't figure out a good ...

Update, so after doing some searching around i have found this and think i have answered my own question. http://i739.photobucket.com/albums/xx31/krohny/04112010368.jpg http://i739.photobucket.com/albums/xx31/krohny/16082010303.jpg I seem to be missing the Transistor igniter (obviously not the exact...

I have this here untested setup i made, put the internals from a 4G32B into my 4G32 dizzy, they fit in just, now my only problem is im not sure if im missing anything from the system, What you see in the photo is what i have, is it just as simple as to run one to positive (obviously ill make sure th...

I think a Congratulations is in order, despite the engine issues, the Galant was ready to go the next morning, and after a few more issues it rolled across the Finish line under its own power. Awesome work to Dan and all that were involved :thumpsup: https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak...

yeah quite sad really, from what ive seen on facebook they are not going down without a fight, hopefully they can find a new motor and have it running by morning, but as they said, its going to be a long night for them EDIT: this just popped up, looks like they picked up an extra set of hands to hel...

Things arent looking good for Dan at the moment, any Tasmania members have a spare 4G54?
