Merry Christmas everyone 🎄🎅

Merry Christmas🎅🎄 to all bsc members, hope to catch up next year.

Anybody want a 1600 pinto block, crank, pistons and con rods, block will probably need a rebor

Was going through Westonzoyland in Somerset today and spotted a dark blue Mk3 XL with black vinyl roof heading towards Bridgwater then saw it again a bit later heading into Langport reg was MNU ***P

Got this one but not gas

As it was linked to the horn and the coil and now bypassed the car runs fine, I would say it's some kind of alarm and immobiliser. Good that you've got to the bottom of the issues and the car is running fine now.

Sounds like it's the ballast wire then.

Because it's only to test the wire gauge isn't to important but not to thin, just strip it back and bend it over on itself if needed and push into the female bullet and twist it around the +coil terminal it should run like that if it's the ballast wire at fault. Have you checked you have power to the connection where the ballast wire joins into the loom at the bulkhead end?

Have you tried bypassing the ballast wire with a separate wire from the bulkhead end to the coil to see if it stays running, if it does stay running then you have got a damaged/broken ballast wire

👍

On mine it registers 12v at the coil with the ignition on stage 2 but not running and 9.88v with engine running

Thanks Craig👍

Has anyone got an air filter housing to fit a pinto with twin choke weber that they want to sell?

Mk3,4 & 5 all use M12 fine wheel studs/ nuts, Mk1 & 2 and corsair are unf probably 7/16 like you said.

Anyone know what this cam is? It's from a 1600 pinto with 34/42mm valves. Thanks in advance.
