    Default A 20L NV is alive!

    woo hoo!
    after a failed attempt at starting the nova last week i was abit miffed! could not get a spark, had power to the ecu and i had bled the fuel through but it just would not go!
    found out from Rick i had to mod the dam distributer to get 10deg btdc! and to try actualy reading the mapping instructions
    gave it another bash tonite! got it all powered up followed the start up procedure and still nothing
    in the end it was the fault i thought i had all along! coil was dead! taa to twag for the stand in coil! plumbed it in at voila! she started up
    tho it was running very rough! like it was firing on 3 spose mostly because at this time there is no way of me knowing where the distributer is with regards to btdc! ah well at least its a start!
