  4. Cheers StEVEN, thanks for the link. Have put it up on the ST forum as well, already some interest Its been the first "Fast Ford" I've owned and I can see why people like them
  5. The time has come to say goodbye to my ST220 ☹️ - great fun car, but also big and sensible enough for a family. Low mileage, great colour, garaged, full details and pics can be seen on the link below. Listed on Pistonheads - here £6,500 to anyone in the L7C?

  7. misunderstood, especially by people such as.....
  8. time to post inane drivel in the sheds any more. He is far too busy with his new hobby of..........
  9. 2nd dibs if Ian doesn't want it.
  10. I recently had a similar problem as the engine got hot. It was the electronic ignition (Aldon Ignitor) failing as it got hot. As the enginge got hotter the misfire got earier - started at 6k rpm then gradually moved down the rev range to 4k rpm. Rebuild at Aldon wasn't too expensive, proper advance curve now for my supersprint and it runs really well.
  11. I'm sure the rev counter takes its pulse from the coil, I can check later.
  12. Yes its 1243. Fixed now, with the help of Mrs S, while I checked with a timing lamp then twisted the dizzie to the correct timing. I had it set too far btdc about 40 degrees I reckon. Sounds sweet now. Just in time for it to start pissing down! Thanks all
  13. Just had rebuilt dizzie back from Aldon today First attempt - fitted to fire on no1 cylinder at 14degrees btdc Wouldn't fire but made some lovely popping noises Double checked dizzie cap and I was 180 degrees out - how did that happen? Removed rocker cover crank is definately 14 degress btdc. Rotar arm is pointing to No1 cylinder spark plug. I have tried to get a basic timing by in serting an allen key in the coil ht and listening for the "crack" as I twist the dizzie. Engine cranks but feels compressed and sluggish, won't fire up at all. First time I've attempted timing and I have to admit I'm stumped and frustrated now. Just want to go for a blat in this sunshine.
  14. Sorry to hear that, especially as I has just sent my two dizzies to Aldon for refreshing ☹️ I was given a 2 week estimate.
