I've glued the Hall sensor in place, and I swopped the "O" rings with those on the newer distributor. The post man has just delivered some ratcheting spanners, so I'm working up the enthusiasm to dold the old distributor back on the engine. I'm not bothered about timing at the moment. I just want to get a spark by connecting a plug to the number 4 outlet, and lying tghe plug on the exhaust manifold. If I get a nice fat spark, then I'll connect all the plugs, and rotate the distributor to the same position as the one on my B230E engine in the saloon.
Right at this moment I'm fvrying some mashed potato and eggs. Hopefully that will generate enough enthusiasm to go out into the cold.
