So, How's The Car?

Finally turned the ignition. Would've done it earlier in the weekend, but should've realised the battery was well below it's charge.

And, well, it runs, sort of. A small problem initially with the distributor sorted, and it fires up and runs. But still sounds like a bag of bolts. Or an old farmers tractor. Very lumpy running.

The more I look at it, the more I'm coming to realise I'll need to take the timing belt apart again, and do the setting up properly. It can only be a couple of teeth wrong either way. Would've sorted it today, only my request on yesterday's post seems to have hit, and it's been constant raining all day :-( Looks like I'll have to resign myself to doing it at the weekend. Now, where did I put my bus timetable...
