question Austin K9 contact breaker gap

[Niceonetidy]

Hi HMVF,

 

Can anyone please advise me on the points gap for my K9 lorry. Also tyre pressure. And are some small Tyre side wall cracks OK for the road.

 

I also need to know what type of oil goes in the gearbox, axles etc please,

 

Thank you,

 

Colin
