Thanks George. High perf. coil fitted (as you advised) when I ditched the ballast resistor. The 123 is though a big investment.
Dare I say it, I have thought about trying Accuspark! They are local and I have discussed it with them.
I feel sure though there is more improvement yet to be had with a bit more experimenting with timing etc. as small changes seem to make a difference.
For example when I first set the points in the 'new' dizzy I thought I had them spot on and the engine started the absolute instant I turned the key but the dwell meter showed the gap was too wide and when I corrected it, it started ok but not instantly. Maybe I should have tried driving with the wide setting?
A mechanic I have known for more years than I care to remember always says the book settings are only a starting point.
