For the first time! got it started and running roughly, but running on Friday, got the clutch and brakes bled on Saturday. the clutch is a bear to bleed. I had put on a new slave and master,and the slave had the inlet and the bleeder reversed, but I could not switch them and have it work, the high end where the bleeder should be did not have the bevel cut for the bleeder screw, so I had to unbolt the slave and hold it with the bleed screw up to get it to bleed. Now the fun stuff, sorting out all the little British gremlins. I have a long list, and at the top of it is getting the carb sorted. It came with a big honking Weber DCOE sticking out the side, and in the trunk was a new Weber downdraft with manifold. I still have the DCOE on it, but need to get rid of it, I am not smart enough to get it set up.
The engine compartment is a heinz 57 of parts; It came with a 25D distributor on, with a 45D4 and another unmarked dist in the trunk. It took the unmarked one with the electronic ignition out of the parts car, of unknown origin, to get a dist that worked. I have to sort out vac advance, and hope to eventually find some SU's somewhere and get back to what God intended for a British car.
The fun begins.
