Re: Auto rear axle to manual car a straight swap?
Aren't the axles the same on all capris unless one is the English and the other is the atlas.
atlas has bolts on the back plate facing the rear of the car English have bolts on the front facing towards the nose of the car.

Re: Spark plug condition
That looks slightly lean and running hot to me. Optimal is a nice pink with carbon deposits on the ring.

Unless they're nearly new plugs which haven't had much time to colour yet.

Re: Weber 34 ICH emissions high
Obviously for `retard` he meant `advance`. Although 14` does seem a little premature, most recommend 8` or so? you got me! That's what I get for trying to type and enjoy festivities in a glass at the same time! I'm sure I got mine ticking at 14 deg but the neon timing light is very pish vs the xeno...
