Hi David,
It is extremely kind of you to offer to post me a capacitor. If no one can advise a part number/specification for a modern replacement capacitor I will take you up on your offer. In general, I hope these capacitors are still available or else I guess we will all have a problem in a few years’ time.
The battery is fairly new and I have kept it charged up when for the various attempts I have made to get the car running. Since it is cold at the moment I plan to try with another battery and jump leads at my next attempt. I have a new air filter and will install this when I try again when hopefully I will have received a new rotor arm and distributor cap.
I am also thinking of trying spraying some Easystart into the air intake to try and check whether or not fuel supply could be an issue. When I turn on the ignition, I can hear the fuel pump prime for 30 seconds, but I guess this is not conclusive proof of fuel delivery.
Best regards, Martin
