Hi Andrew, The car has been off the road for 10 years Diff collapsed, rebuilt that then my mate did a dodgy respray but it has been running up until about 3 years ago Anyway somewhere along the line i must have taken the old horns off and the wiring hence why im getting confused over the correct set...

Hi Me again, I've tried the advice given so far but not much joy,ive got new horns and a new harness but still cant work it out ( thicko me ), I've had the horn stalk off and cleaned the contacts and that looks ok.

Hi All,
What is the best way to tighten up the clamp bolt on a 2.8i distributor when adjusting the timing.
As you know there is limited space to access the bolt which secures the clamp and you are working blind by feel only,any ideas on this ?
Thanks Kelvin

Hooray, it fired up, a bit lumpy but its running, no leaks,just got to time it right now.
Thanks everyone for your help & advice

Thanks for that Peter really useful,ill get some loctite and try it

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me which fuel pipes go to which metering head port.
1.The one on the side nearest the radiator on the side
2. The one on top in the middle
3.The three on the side nearest the passenger wing side.
I took them off and didn't take photos (silly me)

Thanks Kelvin
