ill chech that 2 murow as i did change the distributor at the same time and all the HT leads

lol sorry for that if you had said that in the first place you need to time it up and did you check the points were set right the best thing to do is to get some one that knows what there doing to get it running again or get some one to turn the engine over and you turn the dizzy from left to right very slowly and it should start
good luck

I know i have got the leads on the right way i checked that but i didnt know about lining up the dizzy cap

but thinking about it i should have realised that i should have had to.

[Tomf]

the dizzy cap, soz if i just wrote dizzy earlyer

yes if you just change the cap it should line it self up just check everything you done and check the leads are in the right places and take it from there
