What's happened to my knee then? Woke up this morning with a sore left knee, no reason for any damage that I know of. I can't quite straighten it without it hurting, and I can't quite squat down to a flat thigh before it hurts. After sitting it hurts to straighten it, but once moving around it's not much of a problem. Thanks in eager anticipation!!
Umm... sorry, the wrong pigeon got hold of this! However the knee problem may be Saab related as I was bending over the
96 all day, putting in a Pertronix and Blue Coil!!!
The clutch on 9000's has always been a bit stiff. The muscles on my left thigh look twice as big as my other leg. Guess it's just the price you pay for driving an old Saab :)
HTH
Hello? Yes? And where'd you find a blue coil please?
Bosch sells them, so does Chip Lamb, $129 with a V4 Pertronix kit.
My local sparky found it for me in Auckland. It is one of the good "Made in Brazil" type. 0 221 119 027 - 740 Seems to work ok. Had to have the vacuum-advance rebuilt as well, as it had a leak in it. I shall have a go at the Positive pressure valve, on top of the inlet manifold today and clean it up, and the car should be ready for our local classic car show on Sunday.
I did not know that was possible. Looks like an unrepairable sealed unit to me.
Yes, I thought so, but there is one man in Christchurch, NZ, who apparently does all these for the whole of nz! Took the car for a run just now and it is much smoother with all the changes.
