Thanks Lawrie, hopefully soon we can get together when all this virus crisis is over. I tried something today & backed off my engine mountings. Yet to be tested. Maybe I need your replacement engine you are building for your 33 ?.

Danny, when are you next down to Brisbane, I have some stuff that some one in the V8 club might be able to use, later generators ,and manifolds, I can't throw them out and I won't use them,

Lawrie, when you built the 2 dist for me they both were the separate points type

OK that means both were 11a. that was what was in there from the start.
I will knock one up with the 68 and also you can try a 40b one from the spare 34

See if the harsh noise improves...
No centre bearing in torquetube.

Good news Brian, Lawrie made up a 40B Dist for me to try. Installed it & went for a run, Lawrie as passenger well that "Harsh Noise" is gone and also a very pleasing outcome is the engine is performance. Very responsive and a lot quieter. Lawrie is the Ford Man.
Just got to source new points ?.

Happy to hear you got it figured and all worked out

Good one, those early motors don't like 11A advance.
