yeah thats about right, when you say setting up ignition what do you mean??

Russ - personally i would cost it in with a new set of rocker gaskets and a valve clearance setup... seeing as you are working in the same area...

when I had mine done, it turned out that the leads and dizzie caps, and rotors were original (date coded) and made a huge difference to the car ,when they were changed, so not bad value given how long they last. Don't be tempted to cut corners using cheaper leads, it is I am told it is a false economy. My leads were sourced in Germany, and I am told that there is even a difference in quality between some of the German units and units of the same make sourced here :?: Beru in my case. Good luck :D

They have never been changed and where fu@ked.
No metal bits in the dizzy, worn away.

Its better, pulls a little stronger, only on a brief rush hour 45 min drive on the m56-60. Defo needed doin.
