The fuel system - 93 model

[PapaButch]

It was the timing, I put my finger over cylinder 1. felt the air pushing out, as the air stopped i turned the crank a tiny bit back the other way, i then removed the distributor and turned the rotor arm so it faced point no.1 on the cap...put it all together and boom, started instantly! I blew the mass air flow sensor out a lil while ago trying it with easy start so it runs a little rich ( fair bit of smoke from the exhaust ) - but otherwise, runs on all 8...doesn't die, now i just need to fix a few water leaks hahaha and bleed the clutch and put the rear anti roll bar on properly and then i have a proper car!!

You got the timing right, all of the leads on the right way? Can you put the dizzy in upside down on these things?

Glad you got it running, I find that half the fun of these cars is playing about with the oily bits
