Thanks Errol, I just got in from having another shot. This time I replaced the manifold gasket as there was coolant leaking out. There is still coolant leaking, in fact even more now that the engine got started. Yes I got it started! Cranked up the idle and it started. Sounded a bit like a vw/wrx for a while then it smoothened out and eventually died. I also had to advance the ignition from full retard (on the dizzy) to one notch before the centre. Then it ran. I think it needs to be tuned. Coolant everywhere now :( I plugged up one of the coolant pipes on the intake manifold, should I have run that over to that junction over the other side of the block? The pressure there might be forcing it out from between the gasket? If I can fix that coolant leak it should run. thanks! zac >Zac, >Sounds like an air leak to me too.
