Ok, thanks for your direction. I'll research potential suppliers here in Portugal, but currently I've hit a bit of a dead end. Do you have any advice on a typical place that would stock these starter motors. Like scrap yards, an online supplier, vintage car clubs. Where do people in the uk usually source these type of starter motor, are they common or rare? I may have to fly to the uk and purchase these items if I can't source them locally. I know the electronic distribution system isn't available here.

Hi SCC Ok I've got a pic, it's a bit blurry because I had to resize it. my vehicle is a left hand drive, I live in Portugal. Can you assist? That’s a Ford Kent Crossflow OHV engine, almost certainly the 1.3 L (1298 cc) version used in late-1970s Cortina Mk 4s assembled in Lisbon. Warm regards Moxci

Hi SCC. Thank you for taking an interest. I'm doing a check to be certain, so when I give you some details they are accurate. It is the small engine, possibly even a 1,3. Looks more like a lawnmower engine than a car engine. 🤣 The car is in the mechanic's so I'll go and get these specs on Monday. Cheers Moxci

I am looking for a new ,or reconditioned starter motor for my Ford Cortina 1978. It's a lucus 25148H. I also require an electronic timer, apparently for the spark plugs, a modification I was told about. Can anyone assist in locating these parts? Warm regards Stewart Portugal
