Well. Finally got the LED indicators sorted with the addition of the correct flasher unit. (Thanks Classic LED).

Had time this week so finally got to install my Christmas presents from my wife. Duplex timing kit, Alternator Kit and Accupark dizzy now in place. Replaced both heater hoses and valve at the same time. Runs better than ever, and managed to get emissions down to 1.5, so significant improvement. Hopi...

Bill, lost touch many years ago so no chance of finding out. Last time I saw the vehicle was in Lookers' showroom on Chester Rd Manchester in the eighties. Just a nostalgic thought really!
