This is how she sat, waiting for an engine re-seal...
Finally on her own feet! Took a lot of cranking to get it started. I didn't think that I was getting fuel pressure, so I pulled out the pump to check the wires. They looked fine, so I left it out to see if I could hear it when I turned the key, and then it started firing. I think that one of the hoses may have been kinked, and probably got freed when I pulled the pump out. Curiously, I never heard the pump at all, even though I have heard to listen for it. After it actually started, it ran horribly for a while and then started to smooth out. I took it for a short spin, and was loving life, even though it is still running like crap.

I actually replaced all of those vacuum hoses (except the 22mm that is not included in the AA kit).
Removed the points and condensor and replaced with a Pertronix, however, I did not replace the FI points. Didn't even really think about it to tell you the truth. Might look at that... |

...however, I did not replace the FI points. ... I don't think you have FI points (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Picture looks like a 1.8 l. so no injection points on AFC ljet. Good luck... I would double check all of your hose connections and boot installation for vacuum leaks. any unmetered air=crappy running and a potentially warped flapper door in the afc unit. |

That's what I was going to say...looks like a 1.8L....if it is, no trigger points in that dizzy. Oh yeah, if that's what you call a "reseal" of the engine, you can reseal mine whenever you have a moment! |
