pics time, right the first pics are of the wire to the advance solenoid, for the sad among you its actually a tweeter wire from a ph1 dash :lol:
the advancer solenoid is the round thing poking out with the oily wire on the top of it
A pic of where it goes to on the pump loom, yes the load switch is deactivated but tbh it makes no odds
If you jump the wire to the battery you will hear the solenoid click, giving the solenoid a live feed advances the pump timing, it doesn't inject more fuel it just does it earlier.
If you have the engine running then jump the wire to a pos feed you will hear the engine note change. If theres no click or it doesn't change the solenoid might be screwed.
Anyway bridge it and go for a drive see if its better.
I advanced the pump today, the actual pump to give the solenoid a rest. I couldn't recall if I had the 2 piece pulley or the one piece, sadly the 1 piece
That means I have to move the actual pump body, but still not really a terrible job. I had to give it a go rather than measure as I need to make up a timing rod for the pump then try various settings. Anyway I scratched the starting point on the engine and pump body, then moved it, I turned it to where it now sits and all is good
This is about 5 or so degrees crank advance. Anyway car out and it maintained 80 up a hill that it would slow to 65 on, so thats deffo better in my book.
Also went up to 90 easily but traffic on the race track prevented any higher attempts
