Have decided to ignore the heater and just go with getting her on the road. Spent a bit over time tuning her up and God was she all over the place. Static timing was so far out as was the mixture that I am surprised she ran at all, that said with this engines set up - hot cam, 1.5 roller headset and high comp Pistons the road test is and adjustments are probably just as useful as garage stuff.
How is the restoration going? Not seen anything recently. Oh and by the way the mixture and timing were messed about when I was diagnosing the head gasket failure as when running is sounded more like a timing failure, until I put the tester on it. It was always very sensitive though if pinking was to be avoided. Had I kept it a different dizzy or electronics were going to appear.
