Well it lives now. After many hours of work it runs!!!

Cant get the idle down below 1000rpm so think i may have an induction leak. Prime suspect is the injector seals as i had to re use the old ones.

Tomorrow i'm going to check the:

1.Servo vacuum pipe.

2.Rocker box to inlet plenum pipe.

3.Airflow meter to plenum pipe - But this is brand new from OCP.

4.Dissy vacuum pipe.

5.Warm up regulator pipe work - i need new pipes but i dont think they are leaking.

Can anyone suggest anything else?

Thanks.

The vacuum leak is down to a worn throttle spindle. Will need to re bush a spare one i have. I have just filled the voids with vasaline.

But the car is now up and running. Small leak from the rocker cover gasket as i had to re use the old one.

I wanted it to look original. I've even spliced in the proper plug to connect the fuel injection loom in. Still needs tidying up though.

To paint the engine i just cleaned everything with parafin and then brush painted it with engine enamel. Just make sure you clean all the old oil and gunk off or it wont stick.

Would it be worth wrtting up exactly how to do this conversion? Or would most people already know how to do this??
