If the dizzy body is hitting something as you turn it to get it to fire,this is probably because the body is in the wrong place to start with. I had this when I first set mine up last year,I had the vac bit round at the front near no1 lead..I ponced around for hours getting nowhere,almost gave up! Try putting the distributor in at a different (window)after setting the engine up for static timing.Very roughly speaking the vacuum 'bowl' should be at 90 degrees to the eng. block to start with. Is this what is hitting the leads?Apart from moving the dizzy,this will mean moving the plug leads round in the cap,probably one position round. .In summary....static time engine with no1 lead coming up to fire with the vac unit facing away from the block.Hope this helps mate

ok here goes. the metal where the clips hold on the dis cap is hitting the spark plug cap so it wont turn any more. plus iv got here running but not right. also when she is running and i take a lead off she starts sparking at the coil

If the clip is hitting as you describe,then I reckon the dizzy needs repositioning as I explained previously.My clips are roughly front and rear of the cap.Sparking where at the coil? Which lead are you taking off?

Not knowing much about the working difference between elec ign and points,Im not sure about this. maybe the elec ign causes it to do that?sorry cant be more helpful dude. Is there a good connection of wire to spade terminal at the coil? I crimped one today,looked ok,but wasnt making contact correctly!

check the terminals on the coil and make sure there no oil or grease on the coil.have a good look at the coil top to see if there any sign of cracking.make sure all wire are tight |

You did refit the earth wire in the distributor ?
Have a wee look at the distributor again .
Suck on the vacuum tube end on the flying saucer and check that the points plate moves .
Take the distributor out if you cannot get access to suck .
If the end of the flying saucer lever is not located in the points plate peg on the underside of the base then the points plate will not be in the correct position relevant to the rotor /pickup .
When you do start it , make sure that the vacuum pipe is connected from the flying saucer to the carb .
