I think your prob could be a simple one "its a Escort and they love it when the owners get shi_ty with them, so they won't co-operate" threaten it with the angle grinder and she might play the game.[88]

Ermmm not sure what you mean there Rhys? Dizzy teeth off by two? Rotor was lining up with no.1 which it was and I tested it with a test light to make sure it was perfect, thats how we got it running. Only thing that was off was timing because it stalled whilst timing light was on it and turned too far causing it to stall. Good to hear its running though  Rhys

had it running most of the day trying to get it running right, but..........yeh there are alot of these with this build....
can't get the car to idle under about 2500 rpm, adjusted inside the comp, all seems right there, adjusted the idle control thingy next to the TB. all seems as it should be running at normal idle????
occasionally i would get it to run around 1500 but only for about 5 seconds.....
why is it doing this? is there a common reason?
im out of fuel it was running that much so tomorra morning hopefully i can get some help with this lil issue and fill up and get her on the road for a lil street creep[:x)][88]
cheers

It's sounds like mine when they first got it running. Sooo rich it was drowning the plugs below 2000 revs and stalling.

Yeh I think Tacho wire would connect to (-) on coil when running points setup. But check the MS diagram to be forsure first. Think it changed for elect distributor.

On my rebuild thread alot of people said my car should idle at and below 1000revs with the RL32 and a TPS setup. But as was explained to me, the TPS is not the problem it's the duration of the cam that is so much that the car makes almost no vacuum at 1000 revs. So the car is not sucking in any air and it floods and stalls. But I may be completely wrong. I do know the cam rocks the car around something shocking at 1200 revs.
