well I was going to do a motorkhana, but it the weather was rotten yesterday, so we cancelled the khana - the ground would have been sodden today, but the weather wasn't too bad

Put the distributor back in. Checked out the firing order and made sure the leads connected to the correct plugs.

Question: Graham R told me to change the plugs. I have BP6ES and I think because of the higher compression it would have to be BP7ES (colder).

Took it for a run out to Armadale, then broke the clutch on the way back :cry:

Had to baby it through the last three roundabouts. clutch wouldn't disengage, but would also slip if given more than 1/5th throttle. Add one more job to the list :roll:

I worked on Traveller number 2. I did some cleaning of the engine, and some electrical connections. I installed a new ignition switch so I can started with a key instead of hot wiring it. And I fixed enough connections so that I can now properly install a battery and get power to the car. More tomorrow.
