Hi David, 18GH -18V engines use the top loading inverted canister filter, the change being made sometime in 1969 per Moss catalogue.The last engines with 18GD & 18GG (1967-69) used an inverted filter whereas before that they hung down. Either you have an old block and / or a modified adapter bra...

Hi Stephen, You say you are going to change the points which suggests the car doesn't have electronic ignition. If so you will have a condenser which is besides the points in the distributor underneath the cap. The condenser is there to stop the points from arcing & burning out quickly. Condense...

I take it that you have reconnected the choke cable at the same point as before you removed it to put in your wooden dash?

Hi Stephen, If your car was drivable when you first acquired it , but has since started playing up since the alternator was changed, then a good place to start is what has been disturbed during the process.

The cooling fan operation is triggered by the thermostatic switch at the top of the radiator and therefore only closes & makes a circuit when the radiator water gets really warm as indicated bt the temp gauge in the car.Mine cuts in when the gauge is probably 75% of the way between N & H.Unl...

Hi Stephen, The washer motor is supplied by the green circuit. Assuming the motor itself works,(which is easily checked by removing the two connectors off the contact tabs & then applying a power source directly & briefly to the motor to see if it functions ),check that the contact tabs are ...

It's personal choice of course. I would stick with the original LE wheels. For my 1980 roadster I never liked the standard Ro Styles which deteriorate rapidly. I considered bolt on chromes wires but felt they were out of character with rubber bumpers. One year on the Silverstone weekend Brown & ...
