Hi Batt's
RE your points drama put a little bit of high temp grease on the cam in distributor and on the trailing edge of the rubbing block of the points and change them every 20000k set the gap with a dwell meter not feeler guages

I put new points in 4 days ago to see if the previous points where playing up they are only 3 month old and yes I always use grease on the cam shaft Thanks fellers' Ill trya dwell meter mine's a bit dodgy I'll find out about HY-TRUCK Cheers.

If the main sleeve bearing on your distributor shaft is worn you may not be able to properly set your points. Grab hold of the rotor and see if you can detect any wobble in the shaft. Most spare ignition parts come from asia these days so I would not worry about country of origin.

I had a mate get a sun visor for a Maverick from www.hyway.com.au/ and was impressed with the service.

Thanks everyone for your help much appreciated

Be aware that an external sun visor will increase your fuel usage. A timing light will show if your distributor shaft is worn , the light will not hold steady on the timing mark , it will dance around it. Electronic ignition can be the way to go, some are susceptile to high temperatures , it needs to be mounted so it can heat through it`s mounting can dissapate ie - a heat sink is needed.

Do the electronic ignition conversion. You will never look back. I used the ignitor kit and after 60k its still never needed tuning.
