Hi guys and once again so many of you chipped in to thelp.....i have all 6 running again. The problem was the order of the plug leads. My workshop manual definately led me astray there......it says firing order from FRONT of engine No 1 bottom right, now ive always assumed the front of engine is where all the pulleys are etc are. Even if the motor was in the other way around it would still have been wrong!!!!!! Again thanks. Would anyone like to comment or advise regarding my ignition timing?. We are 45000ft above sea level, it was the practice for older cars (non computerised) to have there ignition timing advanced by 2 degrees. Should I?
