Rhys Since you have the old dizzy back in get it running fuel only first. Get the laptop connected and get the hang of how it all works. If the car isn't running with fuel only, or the laptop isn't connecting a different dizzy isn't going to solve anything. It will only introduce more possible places for there to be errors. andrew ps. My vote is for no whitewalls

no idea why the comp isnt connecting on fuel only, but it works when i go fuel and spark.
the car wont start and i can't get it to start on points, got it once but that musta been a fluke cause she aint starting now......thats why i figured get it going with spark as elec is alot more reliable, easy than pissing round with points all night?.....
Glenn, hahaha doubt that is gonna happen, i can see the next few pages full of, why wont it start kinda poo poo......haha
cheers

Lucas, Are you forgetting the original? 'Granny'? She's still wearing whitewalls and getting around up north. Also my mate put whitewalls (double white line) on his 2dr Mk1 few years back also and the guy he sold it to still has them on. It lives over Trott Park way. You've got healthy competition  Rhys

only my opinion, but if a car really can pull of white walls it needs chrome and stockies (original wheels) not mags or colour coded or black bumpers.....
so in saying that cars from b4 the 80's seem to suit them better....
id love to run white or red walls on mine but i dont run the bumpers... if i ran the bumpers and they were chrome it would be all original, and i recon the walls would suit...
but like i said this is just my opinion... if u like em do it!!!!
i never seen that 2 door mk1 from trott park please tell me more Rhys?
