Great news about getting the engine in and fired up there !

Double check that each ignition lead is actually firing. If you can use a clamp over ht lead induction type timing light and clip over each ht lead to check that each spark plug is firing.
I am assuming that the firing order is definately correct.

Were the injectors from the new engine? If you have a leaking/ dribbling injector it can cause a slight misfire and cause excessive CO and HC even if you lean the CO back.
Double check you haven't got a vac leak somewhere.

I found best that the distributor solenid is still used and the timing is set to between 13 btdc.
The vac connections on the distributor solenoid are handed and should be the right way around ie you have vac going to the distributor advance unit when the throttle is OFF the throttle switch.

Good luck

Well I gave those wires on the bulkhead resistors a good fiddle and sprayed WD on them but it didn't seem to make much odds. Chris is coming over in a bit so we'll work out what's going on.

Unfortunately didn't see how many turns it was to 2% - there was all sorts of fiddling going on over a 5 minute period to get it there...

The relay to the left of those resistors should be energised when the starter motor is operating.
This is operated by the grey cable (i think from my head, it could be red/white striped) from the starter motor solenoid.
Check that first.

I am back home now...what a week !

Sorry - missed this earlier...

Dan and I did the timing light through each HT lead and all of them are firing. We later found they were wired up wrong onto the dizzy - this was sorted before I left Essex!

The injectors were from the DeLorean. Dan said they weren't the prettiest but they all seemed to work. Dan none of them were leaking/dribbling were they?

Timing we set to 12 degrees (according to our dodgy timing gun). Afraid the rest of this is dutch to me, will show Chris it when we have a look at the car in a bit! Cheers Nick!!

Nice pics !

Nice to see Suz over again

High HC could be down to valve timing, well thats my thoughts anyway, maybe Dan Shane can shed some light on refrofiled cams

No dribbling from the injectors at all. Spray pattern was ok but not perfect that's all, I'm sure most cars aren't perfect. Firing order is now 100% correct.

10% ...ouch

Dont bother using WD40 again Gez, it attracts dust at a rate of knots....get some dielectric grease for exposed connections.

Where all the wiring goes through the firewall on the rear right, check the top yellow connector...thats where the wiring which feeds the ballast resistors 'goes' through.

Is there any smell of fuel when you are cranking?
