Now that you know what the problem is, the next person to work on the engine would probably appreciate it if you corrected the rotor arm position and went back to the standard plug lead positions.
It would be interesting to see a photo of the leads, as they are now.On mine, the ignition module lead isn't long enough to reach comfortably if the distributor is 1/6th of a turn too far clockwise, and the connector hits the head before it's 1/6th of a turn too far anticlockwise. It only really fits in one position.

I'll be working on it next. Have two trackdays and S Club Tour before some garage work. I'll deal with it then.tvrgit said:

Firing order is the same. Leads are just long enough but a bit untidy. Outside of distributor is in the same place / orientation.On mine, the ignition module lead isn't long enough to reach comfortably if the distributor is 1/6th of a turn too far clockwise, and the connector hits the head before it's 1/6th of a turn too far anticlockwise.
