And DONT solder the ends onto the cable, have them crimped properly. Soldering will make a hard joint, and with fatigue it will eventually fail.

BTW, how can you do multiple votes, the rules say only 1 vote per email allowed.
And they are 1900 votes behind.

Over here in Australia we're paying around $1.30 per litre, and have been for a few years now. Thats about $5/US gallon.
It sometimes climbs to around $1.50/L, or nearly $6/US gallon.
If we could pay half that, life would be great  

Should I just say Hi whenever I visit?

Well heres the basics. Its been a couple of years now since Ive had to do it, so Im only going by memory on the numbers.
Points should be open for around 35 degrees dwell angle, to achieve this with dual point you set the 1st points to open earlier than the 2nd, only when the 2nd opens does the coil collapse and the ign cycle is started, then 1st closes before 2nd does, at 35 deg after 2nd has opened. Then of course the 2nd closes shortly after that.
From memory the point gap on a V8 should be about 22thou instead of the usual 18.
The points are less likely to "bounce" and more accurate timing is possible as you dont alter both open and closing when setting up the timing angle.
Does that make sense?
Its not the easiest thing to explain, but I hope you can figure it out.

Theres nothing wrong with twin point dizzys, I used one on the race car (my racing rules stated that I had to use what was fitted from the factory) and NEVER had a problem with it, even at the 7500rpm rev limit also set by the rules.
If you set them up properly, and stagger the operation of the points so one set controls the opening and the other controls the closing (like theyre supposed to) then they work very well.
Too many people set them up so both sets of points work in direct parallel, which achieves nothing, and actually adds to the problems.

Look closer, it's Chocco

Nah, he's too thin to be Choco.      

So Im guerssing you guys dont see the british system then?
BSW, or just whitworth to us throws everything you ever knew about wrenches and sockets out the window. Be very thankful you dont have to work with it, fortunately we dont see much either, but when you do it really upsets you, because metric doesnt fit, and neither does imperial.  :evil:
We have alot of both "normal" systems here so conversion is straightforward, although we rarely see temperature if F.

And who is that kool dude with the micraphone  

That would be the host Andrew.  

Yeah I'd like to see someone try and shear a roo, thatd be real funny to watch
They taste good too, but * that meat makes you fart, especially the dogs after theyve had some as well.........

Surprise , surprise ...... wherever you go there seems to be sheep close at hand !      

hey, don't blame me, the sheep was Rayvyn's date.    

I just KNOW theres a whole new story behind this one, do tell.

Hey Rayvyn, Ive noticed you like a bit of wool on your face, but to have your very own sheep would be like being in a candy store.
I cant help but to be reminded of Dollys Boyfriend in this saga though    Did Carps consider that one?

So thats what he looks like.
I had imagined him to be short, fat and bald. And a bit younger.
Dunno how I conjure up these images, but they never work.

Thats kinda cool in a fun sorta way.
Even better than using a fridge door for a roof on a cab.

said earlier that halfdone just turned 50 lol

He probably is    well he looks 50 anyway  
oooooooh Im prolly gunna rergret that next week. :oops:
