    Nice one. Thanks for the info. After an initial problem with it not sparking a quick tweak of the earths had it burst into life. It's very tappy from the top end but I'm presuming it's a sticky lifter due to it being stood for so long without oil in.

    My cable is just a bodged one using a piece of fuel hose to take up the slack at the pedal end.

    Thought they were different, rather than not strong enough.

    Iirc the 1.0 ran a 4 speed f10, so driveshafts are the same as any other f10'd nova. I once put a 1.4 in a 1.0 and used the 1.0 shafts no probs

    yes, the f10 1.0 box has a different shaped bellhousing, but the output side is the same as the ohc versions, so its a bolt up job to swap it.

    Going back to the speed sensors topic, do the 'gap gear' senders give out the same pulse signal as a cable drive VSS?

    Ie, could a non-cable type be wired up to an older ECU? (the cable wouldn't be needed)

    You'd need to find out the pulse count for both, if they match then you're good to go. If they don't then you'd need something to alter it. There was a guy on Mig selling converters.

    It sometimes says on EPC what the counts are, I can't check for you at the moment though.
