I do what comes it the garage, there are a few other projects involving later cars that will be coming out whenever I have the time to edit the footage. Thanks for watching!

Great to see this video. I know nothing of the later SPi Minis and this will allay some Of my fears to owning one

I really like the injection cars, when properly maintained, they run really well. The computer based ignition timing makes the engine run really smoothly.

Thanks for this. Like someone else said, it would be good to see more injection model videos. Also, what would you expect to see the resistance of the leads ideally being. 40 odd years ago we'd have put resistance plugs and leads in to stop interference on the radio. Would you mind doing a short video explaining all about the electrics, their applixations, differences re plugs, leads, distributors their benefits and drawbacks? Thanks again

Just watching further and you're saying the gaps should be 35 thou. I know it's something to do with high power Ignition, as usually they'd always have been 25. Just to my previous request, which cars, setups etc are 25, which are 35, why etc etc? Just if you don't mind..

@@GPZ_Biker decent new leads are under 2K ohms. A good guide is to keep them till they are over 5K ohms, then replace. 25 thou gaps for points or low power electronic ignition. 3ohm coil OR 1.5 ohm coil and ballast resistor OR 1.5 ohm with 12V feed with variable dwell electronic 35 thou gaps for nominal 0.8 ohm coils - 65D carb setups and fuel injected

❤ school day. Thank you! I think there's definitely a video for your catalogue in that lot. I'm on my first mini now since the 80's and had no idea about any of that. Thanks again

Yes, @timsminigarage is correct. I will do an episode on this at some point soon.

Do I need resistor plugs if only running 65d dizzy with carb and no stereo?
@darrensrestorations9912 ай бұрын
Use non resistor plugs and 1.5k to 3k ohm spark plug wires.
