(For those of you that dont know, some c*nt gave us abuse while we were on the piss. So i threw my beer bottle an smashed his back window :ghey )

Rite an update for you all.

Been a busy boy, the silicon arrived in the end. Got the metal piping. Plumbed the ic in, plumbed the rad in. Bolted it all back together, and put on like a zillion jubilee clips.

Hi mate good to see it back together and its looking sexy!!

The symptons ring a bell as i had loads of trouble with my coil earth and ignition in general.

Make sure the section where your coil sits is cleaned up as the earth here needs to be good as we all know.

There is a small single black wire that is earthed to the coil base plate and i added a second earth strap from this to a spot near the head light which has helped no end and i havent had any problems with it since !! ( So far lol )

You have to remember that 20 year old wiring loom isnt the most reliable so the best you can do unless you replace it is to try keep the earths and connections clean.

Il check mine tomorow and take a picture of my coil wiring if needed.

Good luck ;)

Ok, been out there again today. Is starting to do my head in now!

When the car hasnt been turned over for a few hours, it pops when im turning it over (im assuming the timing is out, as i took the dizzy out). But it only pops twice, then theres nothing at all.

Then ill leave it two hours, an try an again, and ill get two pops an nothing again.

BUT, if i take the fuse out for the fuel pump and turn it over for a bit, then replace the fuse and try an start it. I get a HUGE backfire, and nothing again. Ive done this two or 3 times now, and everytime it gives a massive back fire. May just be me, but it sounds like there getting louder each time.

Any help would be appreciated, else its headed for the scrappy :trout

i think you should check your ht leads are in the right order:nod

either that or ur dizzy is in wrong

I also asked about the ht leads being round the correct way and he told me they handt been removed from the distributor.

I had these exact symptons on refitment of my engine and it turned out to be the ht leads in the wrong firing order:D :trout

Il second you gota look towards the dizzy.
