Hi Fred
Dist. shaft slop was exactly the reason I fitted the electronic ignition to
my car. I still had problems above 5000rpm due to the whole base plate in
the Autolite unit flexing. This was overcome by fitting the Hitachi dizzy
(with the crane retained). This may not be such an issue in the lower
revving Fergerson engined plus 4s!
By the way Fred have you found out what the postage will cost on those
windscreen pillars? I'll arange an International money order as soon as. Or
you wouldn't have credit card facilities?
Cheers
Steve
