1. Yes, washers or a spacer is correct so it sits vertical.
2. There are 2 types of master cylinder and brake servo setup, the earlier type (A in the build manual) would have only been used on earlier Mk2 Fiestas which also had an ECU for the ignition, this meant it only needed a low profile distributor with no advance mechanism This clears the type A master cylinder though the reservoir is cut away on one side to help.
The later Mk2 Fiestas 1986 on had a type B brake setup with a smaller master cylinder which was angled differently and cleared the end of the now normal again distributor with vacuum advance.
I suspect you have a later engine in a car with the earlier brake setup. Jim On 20/08/2010 18:37, jin wrote:
right then folks ive finally got the engine in (whaaayyy!!!!!!) been wrestling it all day trying not to chip my freshly painted chassis but its there. a few questions have popped up in the process though 1. is it normal to have to put washers / spacers between the lower bolt of the upper engine mount? the old engine had a load of rusty washers here and I thought it was just something necessary to fit the OHV engine into the 2+2 but it would appear that the CVH needs this also, well it does on mine anyway, ive made a slightly better job of it that the previous owner by turning up a nice little stainless spacer to fill the gap, however it still causes me to have doubts. 2. there is very little clearance between the brake master cylinder to the distributor cap, about 10-15mm, I cant see any leads going to fit there very well, my dizzy has a black cap with straight connectors on it, was there an option to get a cap with the lead ports at 90 degrees? or is there some other way? as ever cheers for any info.
