Do you have a multi meter?
Firing order is 1-3-4-2
No1 cylinder is at the timing belt end.
And No1 lead goes on the top right terminal on the dizzy cap, then 3,4,2 in a anticlockwise direction on the cap.
If you have the brake servo pipe disconnected then the engine will be drawing a big amount of air in through the hole(which the carb wont be metering for) That may be causing a misfire(very lean mix)
yes i have a multi-meter.
will make sure i have all my plugs etc on and my airbox and my pipe from the servo to the manifold and she if she runs better. The reason i have not got that pipe on as i was really struggling geting it onto the servo.lol
will go and give it a small bash with a rubber mallet!:D
all my plugs and leads were in the correct place etc. Put my vaucum pipes back on etc and my airbox and she is still missfiring
When she is running it makes a quick ticking noise (think its the tappets)??
Anyother ideas on what coukd be wrong? the only thing i done was replace the manifold gaskets and the rocker cover gasket. Anything i could have done wrong?
Ahh, just had a thought. I have not got a earth wire going from the alternator bracket/bolt onto the manifold bolt. Could this cause any problems?
My dad says it might need a good run and the hydraulic tappets might be seized. Is this possible?
Ticking can be a sign of a blowing exhaust manifold gasket.
Fit the alternator earth wire to the bracket/inlet.
eventually got it running properly. Still a ticking noise but she is sounding healthy again. Stil think it could be better but am sure a good run and a oil change and plugs and leads will sort it.
A few more pics-
cant wait to get samco's on and a strut brace and k&n. will look really good i think.

that last pic is the igniton on but has no red lgihts. I have turned the headlights on and the choke so i can show everything else works except the red lights????
Anyone have any ideas?

the tapping might be your tappets, is it like a high tapping sound on tickover and low revs? if so it could be your tappets, mine need doing aswell lol
us two are the same lol
i knwo the ticking noise is the tappets.lol. am not affected about that as i will run her till she blows up and then fire another engine in it. have a choice of 2 1.2 engines, 1.4 engine and 2 2.0 engines.
i could do with finding out what the problem with the lights it though?
thats me got everything sorted now. all perfect again. ha ha
she is running on 4 cylinders now and revs clean but idling she is still missing every now and again. Think the carb will need set up.
need a new camshaft kit for it or go back to the 1.2. really cant be ****d swapping engies again. starting to lose interest in this now. (will only be for a short time)ha ha.
replaced a few things lately. will get a few pics up soon.
