1977 400F2 first restore project
smoothoperator:
Engine fitted to frame today which went in so easily it was a bit of an anti climax, at least it's not sat on the floor any more. Managed to get my walk in Covid booster jab afterwards so overall a productive day.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Looking good Steve pleased to read elsewhere that the pistons went in without bother.
My progress is starting to slow due to a combination of lack of application / energy & cooler weather plus I have a wasps nest in my garage eaves so the blighters are everywhere.

One of my coils was in poor condition and an attempt to prevent water getting in has clearly been made. Also the HT leads are stiff and there is damage on the outer sleeve. So I checked the resistances which were in spec then carried out the repair thanks to the method given by Ashimoto. I still have the second coil to do although this is in better condition it still needs the leads replacing. I now need to find some outer sleeving to complete the job. Pics show some of the stages, starting with the coil as it was at the start. Also one of the HT caps has intermittent o/c so I intend to replace all four. 2 are easy to find but the other 2 are proving difficult to source, (they have differing angles). It has been a very satisfying job. Thanks again to Ash.

Look in the on line NGK catalogue for the cap numbers then you can search by number
Sesman:
Have you tried Greenspark? Nice job on the coils btw.
