My series 3 V8 has for a while now ran poorly in damp or wet weather, one moment its running fine the next it looses a lot of power and only just keeps going. Over the past 6 months or so I've been trying to find the problem and have overhauled or replaced several parts (carbs, ignition system etc.). Just the other day I had my head under the bonnet whilst it was raining to see if I could spot anything, when I brushed my hand over the HT lead from the coil to distributor I got a shock off it. Now my thinking is that this must be the problem but these are new magnecor leads so I tried an old lead on and I was getting a shock off that as well. Anyone know what could be causing this?
Thanks Liam
