4 HT coil - removal,<br />
testing <strong>and</strong> refitting 2<br />
Removal<br />
1 The coil is mounted on the left-h<strong>and</strong> side of<br />
the engine compartment, between the battery<br />
<strong>and</strong> the left-h<strong>and</strong> headlamp unit.<br />
2 Disconnect the battery negative terminal.<br />
3 To improve access to the coil, remove the<br />
headlamp bulb cover.<br />
4 Peel back the end cover, then disconnect<br />
the HT lead from the coil. Note which<br />
terminals they are connected to <strong>and</strong><br />
disconnect the two pairs of LT wires from the<br />
coil (see illustration).<br />
5 Remove the two coil mounting bolts <strong>and</strong><br />
withdraw the coil from the engine<br />
compartment. If necessary, slacken the clamp<br />
screw <strong>and</strong> separate the coil from its mounting<br />
bracket.<br />
Testing<br />
6 Test the coil by using a multimeter, set to its<br />
resistance function, to check the primary (LT<br />
+ to – terminals) <strong>and</strong> secondary (LT + to HT<br />
lead terminal) windings for continuity. The<br />
resistance of either winding can be checked<br />
<strong>and</strong> compared with the specified value. Note<br />
that the resistance of the coil windings will<br />
vary slightly according to the coil temperature.<br />
7 Using an ohmmeter or continuity tester,<br />
check that there is no continuity between the<br />
HT lead terminal <strong>and</strong> the coil body.<br />
8 If the coil is faulty it must be renewed.<br />
Refitting<br />
5.6 Unscrew distributor mounting bolts (remaining bolt<br />
arrowed) . . .<br />
5.2 Disconnecting wiring connector from<br />
ignition amplifier module<br />
9 Refitting is the reverse of the removal<br />
procedure.<br />
5 Distributor - removal,<br />
overhaul <strong>and</strong> refitting 3<br />
Removal<br />
1 Disconnect the battery negative terminal.<br />
2 Release the wire retaining clip <strong>and</strong> unplug<br />
the wiring connector from the ignition<br />
amplifier module (see illustration).<br />
3 Disconnect the vacuum pipe from the<br />
vacuum diaphragm unit (see illustration).<br />
4 Position the engine so that No 1 cylinder is<br />
at TDC on the compression stroke.<br />
5 Mark the relationship of the distributor body<br />

5.3 Disconnecting vacuum pipe from<br />
distributor vacuum diaphragm unit<br />
5.5 Making alignment marks on distributor<br />
body <strong>and</strong> cylinder head<br />
to the cylinder head, as a guide for refitting<br />
(see illustration).<br />
6 Unscrew the distributor mounting bolts <strong>and</strong><br />
withdraw the distributor (see illustration). Do<br />
not disturb the crankshaft setting while the<br />
distributor is removed.<br />
7 Remove the distributor body sealing ring<br />
which must be renewed whenever it is<br />
disturbed (see illustration).<br />
Overhaul<br />
8 Remove the distributor cap <strong>and</strong> withdraw<br />
the rotor arm, if not already removed (see<br />
illustration).<br />
5.7 . . . then remove distributor (O-ring arrowed)<br />
