Thanks for that info.
I have wondered whether these are worth the money as it is an expensive experiment however I do have a pinking issue with the 164 (twin carbs).
My other thought is to have my distributor reconditioned for which I have been quoted approx £100, but again I dont know if this would help.
I have bought a new timing light and at the moment retarding the ignition one degree at a time and now at 6 BTDC with both vacuum pipes off and plugged. Better, but still pinking on load, maybe one more degree will do it!
I did yesterday forget to refit the pipe from the manifold and drove with it still capped off. It seemed to pink a little less than when connected to the distributor.
Can anyone tell me if this is telling me that there is something wrong inside the distributor? Is it ok to drive with it disconnected and plugged off?
Jonathan
