Is that the car with the capped open headers that you took to the Topcats Racing V8 power meet a few years ago Gerry?

Silent fan option ...

Not quite so drastic as Roger's solution, as I still have the mechanism in place - just wired open with a suitable piece of single strand wire.

Works fine sans choke for me too, even reversing out of the garage on full lock (manual transmission in my case) - keeping it simple....

The above sounds like good advice - especially the plug on the ignition, must remember that one!

Except for the no lights issue I would have said to also check the engine earth strap / starter connections (power and switching leads) but seems like that would not be the issue in this case....

Yep, it’s an oily old unit but boy they know their stuff - great service
