Turn the engine onto tdc on number 1 and then look where the rotor arm points and then put the leads on in 1342 order, or look at a pic on someones project thread sure there will be one somewhere if you look chap.

had no earths to the engine what so ever :roll: i forgot about them,

earthed it up just now. connected the battery it turned over, but forgot, the dizzy cap has a big crack and is bout to fall appart, done it from when i picked the engine up. will purchase a new one in the morning and away we go :)

next thing to do is get a tidy b reg SR after my holiday in may and get all the coilovers and xe etc in that :d
