Today has been a GREAT day! I got to start the Spitfire after it's 10 year
nap, and it sounds good. Now I need to take Jeff's advise and rebuild the
brakes so I can take it for my first ride in a Spitfire.
I do have a few questions now that I have torn into the little car. Can
anyone tell me what the electronic ignition is on a 76 Spit? Here is a
link to what mine looks like,
http://home.earthlink.net/~metaz76/ignition.html Is this the correct
ignition module or an after market, I am leaning towards aftermarket. The
handbook says my car has a Lucas 45D4 (Electronic pointless distributor)
but nothing about a module mounted next to the clutch master cylinder.
Second question is about the tach. The second time I started the car the
tach bounced and would not settle. The problem is that this was the only
time that it did this. Is there a possible problem with the tach or is
this a normal thing that happens every so often? I have since started the
car several times and evertime it is smooth and seems to be acurate.
In case anyone is interested I have been maintaing a web site on the
progress of this project.

Thank in advance for any help. And thanks to all the people that had given
me advise on what to look at and repair when I first got the car, it really
helped a lot!
