Toaph, That shop is off your list... I get it. But just a different note after reviewing their quotation... The Zenith-Stromberg 'choke' (enrichment device) requires two gaskets. 1) One internal for

Quick update.? I just got off the phone with their front office guy.? He admitted that it's possible to replace the timing belt without removing the engine, but they prefer to do it the other way.?

Thanks to everyone who replied, especially Bill with the link to the video, and Tim for all the details.? I'm not sure how email attachments work on groups.io, but I tried attaching my statement of

Tim, I guess the obvious way forward then (assuming I can find a suitable red dot pulley) is to simply install the new pulley on the exhaust camshaft and see what that feels like.? That seems a

Get the petronix. Fast easy and done

I found the Lumenition utterly reliable and able to deliver what my Elan tall block TC with cams needed, on road or track. So why replace on the Esprit?

Dave, Thanks for the note.? My car is located in Canada BUT it is a domestic spec series 2.? Thus it came with Dellortos and "E" cams and yellow dot pulleys from the factory. Adjustable pulleys

Thinking about upgrading my 79 S2 Lumenition ignition.? Is there a consensus on what to replace it with?? Or should I keep it? -- Rich F '79 JPS #040 '95 S4s ...SHF63000

Bill, I should have thrown out more info... I wasn't thinking. The 115 MOP and 110 MOP are on the same pulley. There's a red dot/ blue dot dual MOP pulley. When the red dots are properly aligned, the
