Re: Ignition, way of
If you want some excellent shocks that look close to original, but are sealed and very well made, consider Stipe Shocks at the link below. I had mine tested and they came very close to original specs. Not cheap, but really good. If you want originals, that will be a bigger challenge.

Re: Ignition, way of
Hello Kim,
thank you for the link to Mr. Stipe. Yesterday I contacted him for deliver time and shipment etc.

Stipe shocks are NOT SEALED ... The plug can be removed and shocks refilled. At least that is true of the two sets that I bought. |

Re: Ignition, way of
Benson, Thanks for the clarification.
Yes, I was generalizing. You can add fluid, but they don't leak, so it is "sort of" sealed? They can be adjusted for winter, summer. I like the look and feel of them. A quality product for a 90 year old car.

I think there are 'Simmerings' mounted. I understod there gets no oil outside. These shocks must be leekproof.

Re: Ignition, way of
Hello,
Stipe's shocks are on the way. Ignition; I have the hand lever slightly narrower filed and also the lower limit on the teering. I shortened the connecting rod to the distributor a bit. Now my adjustment is -5 > +35 degrees. I think, that is enough. Not really true, but it's a solvent. Thanks at all for the helping hints!

Re: Ignition, way of
Hello,
I have now solved the problem unusually. The previous adjustment also went with tricks (rod angle) not exceeding 30 °. Now I have on the hand lever the lower downend to the stop plate filed a little slimmer. And also the stop plate ground down a bit. Now I have an adjustment of about -5 to +35 degrees. Thank you for the helping hints to the ignition adjustment by hand!
