dark sun on the rise
after a total engine rebuild, just had to share my joy in the 650mile long way round trip I just returned from north wales ... so I was down to three cylinders for a while and had to keep tugging at the ht leads and sticking my finger in the dizzy cap, all in all a major success for me.....

650 miles round Wales in a classic; sounds like bliss.
3 only sounds un-nerving, but it got you home.
Nice job.

Re: dark sun on the rise
Great looking car, and being used 
If you fancy a little trip out locally, there is a car meet at the Griffin's Head at Papplewick every two weeks. Next one is 19th August. I often have a wander up there its only a couple of miles from me, and I think Sladey is going to the next one. Cars start turning up from 5.30/6pm and stay for a couple of hours. Usually an interesting cross section!

Re: dark sun on the rise
What happen? Why were you done to 3 cylinders after a rebuild?
