Either it's the forum or the phone stuffing up, but I cant upload pics right now... Plenty of progress happening though... Chassis is sandblasted and i have repaired the front spring hangers, am waiting on a replacement gearbox crossmember before it gets coated. I have gone for a full zinc...

After putting about 3 solid days in these holidays I have a little more progress to show.... How much can you strip off before its undriveable??!:eek::D Engine out, And heres a much lighter chassis with the gearbox out too...:) And here is the match made in heaven...;) After a quick...

764s are brilliant on road, I have them on my classic and I push it pretty hard on and offroad, they hold up well and handle very nicely for a MT!

I have, but its 2hrs away where I originally did the swap at a mates shed.... I'm taking it into the guy I bought the kit off this afternoon, see what he thinks about it....

Yep the coil is definitely wired the right way around, and I'm checking the coil the same way you described earlier in the thread...

Here's the bastard....

Ok I've wired it up correctly now, and still no spark from distributor, so I tested the coil and no spark either, I have individually tested the ignition feed wire to the coil and it's fine, the wire from the starter supply's power when cranked, I also tested this individually so I'm 99% sure...

Ok that would be great thanks....:)

No instructions came with the kit... Yeah I'll have a check out and see whether it lines up with what I have, thanks for that...

Ok that makes more sense, with the new dizzy, it has a blue and an orange wire running from it, what one of those do I wire to the negative and does the other one go on the positive? Thanks for all the help!:)

That's what that grey wire is... Ok good to know, one less thing I have to worry about!

Someone mentioned to me in a quick conversation that the coil might not earthed so I put that on.....clearly I have a lot to learn

Ok this a start!:oops: I thought I was doing something wrong there....:confused:

Any questions about the photo just ask away, happy to take more pics....

Small problem, have my freshly rebuilt 3.5 v8 in and am trying to get it started, got it cranking fine, oil pressure rises like it should but no spark... We installed a new electronic distributor with a new coil and leads that all came as a kit. How I wired it up was exactly the same as the old...

More pics For those interested, here's the spec sheet for the cam we had custom ground to suit the lpg setup I have running on it....

Slowly coming together now.... New engine is all in, just tidying up bits and pieces before I start it.... Once started, its 2000rpm for 50 minutes to wear in the camshaft, then 500miles of road trip to bed the LOF clutch in, then once 1000miles is up, it gets an oil change to get rid of the...

I am also going to try and fit these headers to the new engine... I have access to a plasma cutter through work now, so have learnt to draft up 2d objects, and made myself 2x 12mm flanges to get welded to the new exhaust side.... Have got 1 of these for the exhaust now, wasnt running one...

Just a couple of bits and pieces I'm tidying up back at home before the weekend..... The RRC is 2hrs away in Timaru, so working on parts that I could bring back with me... I managed to source a similar seal to what was used on the above cover where it touches the radiator, so will be replacing...
