Won't start

Rob/Charlie-Thanks all for the helpful information provided I will check the timing etc. tomorrow evening, I may also remove the Cam cover to check that the valves are closed/open at the correct Time as the pistons are at TDC!

Andy-Thanks for the reply, I can confirm all the ignition components (cap, leads, etc) are brand new and I am on my second set of plugs (just in-case the first set were too wet with all the petrol )
I have Also re-fitted the original Luminition Kit that came with the car originally and can confirm this is all operating correctly and sparking at each plug??

the only thing I need to check is the markings on the flywheel as the Mark I thought was the correct Marking maybe a drill mark for balancing the fly wheel??

I will let you know how I do, otherwise its going on the back of my friends recovery truck Saturday morning to his Garage so he and his 70 year old Dad can hopefully fix it for me Although it would give me great pleasure to tell him I fixed it myself

thanks again JonG

Hi All,

Thanks for all the help with the Timing issue's, after going through all the information supplied I can confirm my cam belt was set up correctly. I had to move the distributor a fair way to line up when set at 5 degrees!
Then with a fully charged battery the engine started and ran after a second attempt, just got to put everything back together then set the timing with a strobe

Great news, well done!
