We still don't know where my fuel distributor is from either. Probably a Capri though I reckon.

Haven't found it yet, but if it is there, it is probably empty. :ugeek: I am still amazed my car isn't made of duck tape (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duct_tape).

More and more reasons to put it on the rolling road next time.
