    • Placed the second bush over the spring.
    • The put on a washer
    • Then fitted the Green and Brown wires
    • Then a star washer and nut.
    • So the two wires are connected to the post.
    • No ignition.
    No kidding, you've earthed the wires to the distributor body, not the moving contact of the points. The clue is that the two wire tags have a large hole exactly suited to a bush being inserted in them, therefore connecting them to the spring.

    OK Be Utey was right in a PM...

    Verbatim: No kidding, you've earthed the wires to the distributor body, not the moving contact of the points. The clue is that the two wire tags have a large hole exactly suited to a bush being inserted in them, therefore connecting them to the spring.

    I just went out in the pitch black because I couldn't have slept otherwise and rewired the dissy. Started first time! You Be Utey! Thanks.
    Although there flat spot is still there when trying to accelerate. Like flat almost cut out and the red light stays on the dash. Any Ideas???

    So Replaced the stromberg carburetor with a recently rebuilt Solex 35PBI problem is the vacuum advance tube has been altered to suit the Stromberg. At the carbi end was a 3/8” bolt and on the vacuum end it had been poorly put together with bits an bobs. So I cut the two ends off with a view to creating a better connection.
    Problem s now the 1/4” bolt I ordered from JC is out of stock and I need to swage over the vacuum end to fit the nipple of the vacuum.
    Does anyone have any experience or advise or both on replcing this vacuum tube?

    Not sure what you are doing with the 1/4 bolt, but the vacuume fitting in the carbi is 6mm and has a brass olive and a male nut on the tube. Try a hydraulics company for these.

    Cheers Steve
