Thanks buddy, yes it is.
I will write up the trip, usually the main report is on RetroRides.
Few small tweaks today.
I actually drilled and tapped another earth……
After more digging around we found that the fuel pump relay was not working correctly, so John bridged it and it fired right up.
More testing after opening it up showed it could be closed and be made to work. So a brilliant bodge installed, closing the switch permananetly.
I need to get a working MX5 relay like this to replace the fitted one.
So then 20 litres of fuel into the tank, and a small prayer we turned the key.
And after all the ups n downs, it fired up, lumpy at first then settled into a idle.
Revving it up reminds me of an Alfa Giulia when I was growing up.
Once over the jubilation, trying to get the heater/blower fan going was a major fail……….
To be revisited another day.
Next job was to bleed the clutch master cylinder.
Lots of murky brown fluid.
Failed to get it sorted as well.
So I took the MC off and inspected it.
Looks like a replacement may be due or recommended.
I am guessing it is an original Ford part though.
