Hi Guys
Well hopefully i should get the car running this weekend, but was thinking that when i read though Mason (previous owner) thread, the car was badly over fueling and pooring out black smoke, so what additional parts should i have to hand?, also he adjusted the air flow metre, how do i reset?, sorry for all the question, but you guys have been a great help so far and so thought i,ll ask.

Many thanks

Ralph

Don't worry about what else you need or what else can be faulty (Remindes me to much of somebody else on her)
Just fit the new starter and see what happens then.
If it runs OK let it warm up and then give it a blast and see if what its like after that!

Then you can worry!
