ok I'll check that..
It requires that special tool, that I read wasn't available to anyone unless you had a friendly rover service guy in the area. Which I dont.
I found them at rovers down south.. but they're kind of spendy..
anyone got one I can borrow?
I have a header on there.
It doesnt' seem to burn oil.. A tiny puff when I start it occasionally.
Its supposed to have the 8:1 engine by being a sIII but if its original I couldnt say. It has a leaky header.
I haven't tuned it. It seems to be running rich.. I've not tuned it up yet. I'll time it and check the points.. they are new.. but .. open the right amount??
