if its got spark and fuel can only really be timing I would think, but you would have done that I'm sure unless dizzy is a tooth out???

well kinda glad that you got that sorted... now you got to find a ECU from the wreckers I guess..... 5 speed manual ones would be a joy to find too.. wonder if you can use a auto one, seeing as the auto computer is seperate????

you can always do the resistor trick to an auto ECU to make it think its a manual.
