Lakes Tour 16 June 2019
It wasn't as wet as last year, mostly overcast but the skies opened for the last half hour or so. This did nothing to spoil what was a really good day. Cars, as well as the standard and modified Anglias, included two Corsairs and Two MkII Cortinas, although the previous day had an Escort and MkII(?)...

In my experience, a cold 100E needs full choke to start it and no accelerator. Once it has started, push the choke in about half way, but do not touch the accelerator when operating the starter. The starter slipping out of mesh sounds like a worn Bendix pinion. You need to remove the starter and che...

Earlier Fords tended to use standard Lucas electrical equipment such as starters, charging, ignition and lighting, but from about 1966 began a move towards in-house components, which were generally inferior to what they replaced. Similarly, brake parts were for a long time Girling products, carbutet...

After doing some re-thinking on this Jim maybe right. I'm looking at A and B being separate moving points but in reality it doesn't matter what size the outer diameter of the flange is. I always thought that Ford made two different size flanges to alter the ratio a bit. That's it, Pete, you were po...

Larger the flange the ratio decreases. Not with you there: the flange diameter has nothing to do with the ratio maintaining 1 to 1 from the gearbox, whatever its size. The ratio, and this is the important part, is dictated by the number of teeth on the crown wheel and pinion. With Fords it is gener...

As Peteleo says, there, there could be an underlying fault; the fans aren't effective above a very low speed anyway above which the movement of air through the radiator is down to the car's speed. Generally, either water isn't flowing into the radiator at a fast enough rate (blockage in the engine o...

The test you did in the first post says that the generator itself is not functioning, but I assume that you raised the engine speed during the test? With no regulation, the voltage should rise in proportion to the rise in rpm, and should go up beyond 18V if you take the rpm up to this and get that r...

22 degrees b.t.d.c. suggests it's a diesel! A petrol engine should not be at that initial advance so something's wrong somewhere. If rpm reduces as the timing is advanced, it suggests that it is already very over-advanced. The rpm at any given road speed is entirely dependent on the final drive rati...

Did the Lakes Tour again yesterday; excellent as ever despite sometimes very wet weather. Huge thanks to Dick and Chantelle for organising it, and it was great to meet up with my mates again, even if only once a year!
