No exhaust yet and a bunch of rites that need to be connected jet.
The engine bay is still in a barn state.

Hey, where the hell does the distributor plug connect to? Going nuts trying to find it

What is a distributor plug? Fuel distributor has no electronics, and spark distributor just has the HT lead on top.

Are you going to drive it/tow it by the stadium this evening for the Greece - N Ireland Euro qualifier and let the visitors from Norn Iron have a look?

Ha! Very well informed again.
No towing possible although a great idea;)
I may just wear the DMC badge.

Greeks are fond of the Irish. We share common history (near not ancient)

The lead I pointer out needs to run to the left of the firewall, not the right where it is now.
The plug it should connect to is the lead from the distributor base, as this is where the electronic pick up is (from the reluctor) inside the distributor. Think of this as a replacement if contact basket points.

Have you got a black lead that comes out if your distributor?
