. I owe you better, but here are pictures of the twins :cool: The really happy guy sitting in the white one (UN Markings) is my eldest.

. I was really impressed just by reading the website @ ClassicHeads.com where everything tucks inside the distributor. I definitely need to investigate that possibility. For sure, I don't think I will achieve "show car status" but inside and protected electronic ignition seems like a really...

. Very observant Grasshopper! :cool: I was trying to save up something for another day, but yes sir you are right. She is a slightly older MK1/2. three man version.

. Wow! Thanks teletech ! Lots of good information. I am definitely stumbling along and learning as we go for sure. Son is in on this project too, so we can both stand there and look at it when things aren't as we expect. :) It was last being driven about two years ago. Lots of stories like...

. Toy Time :cool: Got after it with a pressure washer to knock off some of the loose paint. Funny that it wasn't rusty until I did that... It will get better looking without a lot of effort (I hope - I think).

. Proud to say I have not touched the screws on the points. I am almost "bent" on getting it to run with the parts in place as they are "without my help". THANK YOU for the book pages! I just printed them a few minutes ago and I hope to have time to spend some quality time before it gets hot...

. Hi Ferretboy , So, without manuals, I am only guessing and that isn't especially bad. Just means that you (me in particular) have to work harder to find solid answers. I have bits and pieces, but not an entire book. There is one question I am hoping to find an answer for... Points. Dual...

. I have made what I consider really good progress. Heat and Humidity has made it slow going, but I have managed to "almost" get it to run. Son and I checked out a few things. Confirmed power inside the distributor. Screwdriver to the center shaft and the points and even in broad daylight I...

. Neat!! I was wondering about 12/24 and where or if that was going to happen. If nothing else, maybe I can get the bolts undone and snap a few pictures to study. Appreciate the pointer to where I need to be looking! Thanks Ferretboy Thanks Guyfang I personally avoid being an Expert. An...

. Based only on reading forums, that appears to be what I understand. These numbers were stamped into the hull. There is also a thick aluminum metal plate also attached to the hull. This one also came with a street title, so maybe with some effort and time I can take her for a spin :cool...

. I will definitely gather pictures off my phone and post them here. They will be "hot off the trailer" images. It is going to need a little cleaning and paint, but all in all, she looks pretty good. The engine compartment has a lot of chipping paint. I figure once I get it powered up, then...

. Evening Sir. I have not started measuring for voltage on the ignition. I need to go rummage some of my books and see what the distribution box looks like. I have never worked on a Rolls Royce before. Hot to the coil inspection is where I think I will start... I know what that looks like :)...

Hi guys, We have been through the "is it getting fuel" exercise. The banjo bolt on the carb loosened, the electric fuel pump shoves it out like a fountain. Didn't bother removing the air cleaner cap to look and see if it "squirts". Have removed the plugs about a week ago and pumped lots of...
