Tom , Use distributor number IAP - 4001-1 when ordering parts .  222446349012  He doesn't ship to UK but you might ask . If not , I can forward it to you . 

Thanks for the offer Jerry at the moment the dizzy is not now my main concern and as it fired I will leave it for the time being.

Moving on , now undergoing a full decoke, several valves didn't shut so compression was almost zero surprising that it fired at all. The valves have gone to my local engine builder to regrind the seats, not sure if I can recut the block myself as the cast iron must have work hardened over the years, the inlets cur well but I don't get the bite needed to cut the exhausts. I'm able to use a pneumatic valve lapper which might help.

 I need to get a 6 Volt Battery that I can maintain with a trickle charger, what size should I be looking for, ideally I would swap this between car for now, need to know what AH rating I should be looking for I can get 165, 120 & 80, the 165 is 13 1/4" long x 7" wide x9 1/2" Tall Including posts. 

Thanks for your help.
