Gearbox found

The search for a 5 speed Sierra gearbox is over. S'funny but I phoned the scrapyard looking for a Type-9 gearbox a month ago and they said they did not have any. This time I asked for a Sapphire or Sierra 5-speed box and they said Yeah no problem!!

I rescued the old coil pack that I stripped from the engine a month ago, with the intention of replacing it with a new part. It will have to do - a new one is pretty expensive! I am going to have to scrape pennies together for the next couple of months.

Spent an interesting hour this evening just paging through the Burton Power on-line catalogue - there is horbs of info on speccing, building and tuning Ford engines. And lots of good ideas.
