Thanks for the article, I am looking to do this to my ute after yet another fail with the Traumatic ... but is there any chance of scanning in the missing page/s? (steps 10 - 15)

That is something I might ...

Roscoe I lept beyond my knowledge quite a while ago!

Thanks for your thoughts, I like to get as many opinions as possible on this sort of stuff - then try and make a logical decision based on what makes sense!

Thanks Craig and Rosco, there are many opinions on this subject as I am finding out ... probably the biggest thing for me is no one can really spell out the benefit of disconnecting the vacuum advance, the advocates of doing so just say it doesn't work properly because of low vacuum when running a ...

I have asked this on a couple of forums so apologies to anyone that already has read it!
