Fuel Pump volume

Dan, you caught me before I fixed my type-O. I meant BP5ES on hand . I think I'll rebuild my original Beru wires I have in a box when I get boared.

Pinder, one more thing you want to double check is the rotor phasing. Your timing can be spot on but your rotor could be pointed drastically off of the distributer cap terminal center line. With the Engine at TDC the cap terminal should be at the leading edge of the rotor. Your optical pickup should be in its shutter window.  This way the rotor will advance into the center of the terminal as the distributer advances. If not adjust the optical pickup location.

Are any of you guys brave enough to try the NGK BP5ET or BP6ET?
These have 3 ground electrodes.
I have some but not fitted yet.

I aligned the rotor center line pointing to middle of Cap terminal for spark plug 1.   Should the leading edge of the rotor be pointing to the center line of #1 cap?

I ordered the CRANE PS50 coil.

Pinder, You may want to "retard" the optical pickup a bit if you can. Mine happened to max out on the adjustment. As long as the rotor will still land somewhere on the post terminal at 35 degrees advance you should be ok. Remember the distributor rotation to crank rotation is 2 to 1 ratio. So you have roughly 18 degrees of distributor advance mechanism movement to 36 degrees of the crank. You can measure it with a cheap plastic protractor and see where on the cap it will land.

Ive installed the new ps50 coil and properly mounted the XR3000 unit under the battery. I made sure the led light pointed into the engine compartment. When the engine is running you can see a red glow off of the lower fan pulleys so this will be good for making any adjustments as you cannot directly see the LED light if mounted under battery.  I re-gaped the plugs to 0.039 inch. Seems to be running pretty good. Will know how it drives soon when I get the gas tank back in.
