Once the coil had been swapped out it was then time to bring more consistency and correctness to other key components.  All spark plugs were removed, replaced and correctly gapped with consistency.  The ignition timing was then set statically, followed by dynamically via a strobe with advance and retard function.   All good foundations towards a healthy smooth running engine and significant steps closer to the engine running as it should be.

After ensuring that the ignition was good and healthy it was time to look towards the fuelling.  Unfortunately these old fuel injection pipes are prone towards splitting.  On the cold start idle enrichment circuit I noted the slightest of splits in one of the fuel injection pipes at the fuel pump manifold, so I swapped it out immediately.

With the ignition back on song and on spec, the fuelling rectified one of the final stages was to check that everything was working together in harmony and that the car had both a good static and dynamic battery charge.  Time for the Capri t be back out on the road and as tail happy as the day that it was first registered.
