Re: Re: 1955 Traction 11B “Barn Find” Project

Thanks for this – I am a little away from fitting the distributor although I cleaned up the old one and it looks OK.

I am not going to use 1-2-3 ignition but a very similar sounding unit 1-2-spark. This unit is a black box that is fully programmable and is hidden away with the only connection being to the existing distributor (to distribute the spark) and to a sensor fitted to the fly wheel that tells the unit to fire the spark. This will differ at different temperatures and revs throughout the cycle. I use it on my ’79 Dyane and it starts every time with zero choke on the first turn of the key (the Dyane has had special programming as it is fitted with the Turbo so slightly different – not my doing, I bought it like this 😉 )

Good day today – had a visit from the upholsterer and if I supply the material he will do the door cards and all the seating at less than half what I was quoted in Toulouse, cash of course 😉

I also started taking off the rear hubs as now I need to go to Toulouse I may as well drop these off to be skimmed and new pads fitted to the shoes.
