  5. The fuel pump rods are different lengths between alternator and generator aswell

    I think its just heads manifold and carb differences between single port and twin port

    No progress at all today even though the kids have gone back to school i seem to have picked up that man flu paul weeding had a while ago

    I found some strange damage to the outside of the oil cooler

    The coil needed a tidy up and a quick polish has made it look a lot better

  10. Hi

    Still attached to alt stand, not sure i can get it undone but will check condition and get back to you

    Ben
     
  11. You need a special tool to undo them Dr ben dude
     
  12. And heat, as they generally haven't been undone for the last 40!! ;)
     
  13. The inlet manifolds have had a bit of a clean up

    I decided i didnt want the coil polished up as once you polish one thing it runs away and you end up polishing everything
    Looks good in satin black i think

    Alternator has begun to be cleaned up
