Roger, I brought my 1972 MG Midget into NSW back in 2000. It had and still has the speedo in MPH. I doubt WA would be any different. Regards Dave Baigent ...

pretty easy - I pull out the wire in the center of the coil that goes to the cap - I replace that wire with one with a spark plug at the other end of it (I...
... Great thanks, I will try that. I'm told that the chance of the coil being bad is pretty slim. Everyone I meet seems to be scared to death of the coil they...

Ok, I think I can eliment the low tension circuit. I removed the distributor cap and rolled the car forward in gear to separation in the breaker points. I was...
Ok, I have disconnected the lead from the coil to the distributor cap. I held it as close to engine block as I could (it is a short lead) no sparks. I also...
ok, back to the beginning - was the engine running before you did the tune up? If it was and all you did was remove and replace -- then one of the parts is...
