Thank you for the advise both. As it turns out, it seems to be down to a bad earth between the mag and engine, even though the mag is earthed to the engine plates this doesn't seem to have been good enough, and running an earth to the barrel stud seems to have worked perfectly. This has obviously pe...

Re: '57 VH, Four and a half years later...
