Haha yeah sorry thats what i meant. Vac advance is connected and so is pressure tegulator, will try and bung it tomorrow and see if it makes andpy difference

Ive got a long vac hose off the front plug on the left hand side of the inlet manifold which i have no idea where it goes? Any ideas?

So spark is at correct timing, vac hose is connected and neg to ecu, tried it again today after having the battery on charge and being away, it almost wants to go and pretty much ran for a second or two then went, Maf sensor looks like it has seen better days though, any way i can run it...

Ok so the engine cranks, i have spark and i have fuel but wont run, what am i missing ??? What is the white/slate wire on the back of the alternator meant to go to if anything? Cheers guys

Haha your telling me, best place for information these days, I have a question. For everyone though, Im running the manual gearbox so dont need the "bog brush" oil cooler, does the engile oil just run through the original rrc radiator? If so what ports? As theres 4 x oil connections on there...

Ideal thanks for that, clears up a lot. Will let you know if i get stuck tomorrow ;-) haha.
