Easy peeps.. Seems that the new parts were at fault, Old coil is sparking, New one, Nothing, It actually sounds better and think all it needed was a new fuel filter as the old one had glupy slime dribbling out of it, Gonna fill it up put in some injector cleaner and go for a drive hopefully tom.... The number 1 printed on distributor didnt mean s**t 1 is where 3 is in the haynes manual.. Im so glad that i took a pic of engine before i bought it, The answer was staring me in the face all along... Thanks to you all.. Much love

Cheers guys but im not out of the woods yet.. You wanna hear it rattle, squeak, ping, clunk, bong, drag, rub, er... boing.. Wait a minute i found a label under the bonnet that says for film use only.. Caution car is rigged to self destruct.. S**************************T, RUN AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. seriously though, took it for a drive and it felt like i was driving a car from the 1930s, Peoples reactions were cool.. Liked to off give some though impossible, It really is so unstable, Go round a roundabout and at 10mph and it sounds like your proper givin it.. Go over a bump and the whole car shakes.. Im thinking that my dream is slowly turning into a nightmare.
