I got my 1400 with the 1300 head running, took it for a spin and it stalled on a junction and hasnt wanted to restart again.

There is no spark coming from the coil to the dizzy, so i replaced the module thinking that had gone.
Tried it earlia, still no spark.

I also have another problem that im thinking could be causing it,
when i put my hazard lights on, the front sidelights flash instead of the indicators.

any ideas? help please, i need to get this engine run in asap

Check the earth wire that bolts to the inner wing from the headlight area.

As for spark, check the ends not broken off the distributor.

If there is no spark from the king lead to the block then try mesuring the resistance of the coil.

ok, il have a look at the part of the dizzy that goes in to the cam see how that is.
il have to ask my mate to check the resistance of the coil, hope that will fix it.
fed up of the car being off the road :(
