This is second in a series. Please see "Toolkit Tools - Lucas Distributor Key" thread to get the background on what I'm trying to accomplish.
Next we have the Valve & Spark Plug Gauge. In the picture you'll see two. Both are stamped "INL .012" and "EXH .014" and both have 3 feeler gauges, one stamped "PLUGS".
The differences come in the part number. The one on the left is stamped "P56 922" and the one on the right "P62 825"
The P56 model has a larger font type than the P62.
The P56 is the one pictured in the article on this website which came from a 14,000 mile Series II Alpine.
It would appear the P56 is correct for Series I and II Alpines and the P62 for Series 3 and later Alpines, but why the difference? Who made these tools?
Can anyone confirm this? Anyone have something different they can post?
Thanks.
