easy... remove the mechanical tach and fit the light from the old one to the new eletric tach. Next run a wire from the back of the tach connection that looks like a small pole and run that to your ignition coil - negative side. Also make sure the ground wire (black) is mounted to one of the install bracket posts that hold the tach in place behind the dash.

easy to do reset the carbs ,their SU type and the needle jet adjustment is a 1/2 inch nut on the bottom of the carb screwing it up reduces the mixture and lowering it increases the fuel ,list when engine warm and get the hissing right to balance them ,but without experiance use a gunson colourtune spark plug and trumpet type product as well to balance the airflow ,easy to do not difficult at all dont be scared of this old beast they were dogs when new let alone now as a classic ,not a patch on the 1600E cortina even better was the sumbeam rapier

The only way to release the handbreak is to really pull on the lever until the button will release. There is just too much tension on it now. Pull as hard as you can to release it.

sounds like the brake light switch is bad or not making contact when the pedal is pushed. check with a meter the switch and also make sure it is getting pushed in when pedal is pushed. could also be a disconnected or broken wire to the switch.

Check out englishparts.com and part number 222-245. I think these that these will work for you quite well. You will need 2. Let me know if you need anything else.

it sounds very much like fuel starvation, what carbs? on SUs the needle valves can stick closed so that carb runs out of fuel and you run on 2 and abit untill the vibration opent the valve and off you go.

Spray the pedel and trottle body with fluid film because it eats away coroson and lubs at the same time.White grease also works well...Hope it helps.........

It sounds like you have to fit a ballast resistor in the power supply to the coil or get a 12 volt coil. Later spits (-ve earth) used a 9 volt coil with a resistor to drop the battery volts down when running, when starting the full volts are used but the starter will drop this to 9 or 10 anyway, this helped cold starts.)

Standard shift? I assume this as it is the most common version. No matter, Check your fluid level. If it is a standard shift you may need to adjust the clutch and or throw out bearing.
