Sprint misfire at lower rpm, especially under load.

For everything to do with Dolomites, Toledos, FWD cars and Dolomite-based kitcars.

Must admit that I don't replace anywhere near that often, and don't think I ever have. I think I'm having to adjust at about that interval, maybe a bit larger. I probably run the mk 1 eyeball over the gap more often, though.

The 16v Slant 4 engine is more fun than the 3.5 V8, because you mostly drive it on the upslope of the torque curve.

Factory 1977 TR7 Sprint FHC VVC 697S (Now all of, but still needs putting together)
B&Y 73 Dolomite Sprint UVB 274M (kids!)
1970 Maroon 13/60 Herald Convertable (wife's fun car).
