Hi Guys,
similar but different, a very familiar story. I have a Dingo MkIII and while the points that came with it work now, I cannot see them lasting forever. So, a spare set would be a good insurance policy. Finding them is the hard part.
The car starts amazingly well, even from cold, so the bench setting and testing I performed on the distributor paid off (or was that just dumb luck?). Besides, it was certainly much easier to work on at bench height. I also have a force gauge, which I use to measure the points (pressure against the cam) and also to measure the pull to remove the feeler gauge. As you said, with twin points there are many variables, carefull setting helps get things balanced fairly well.
Thanks for the information.
Dave
