Managed to start the engine tonight, wiring is not 100% but its almost there now. Just need to sort the switch wires for the relays etc. Put a question to the General Maintenance tab if you can help.
Next question is the exhaust, does anyone know if i can get away with a single box system, or will it need 2+ silencers to quieten the 1800 Diesel?
Oh one last thing. The gearbox has had no oil in it for 12months, and I just tried to get it into gear without oil in - it wouldn't engage any gears at all. If i fill it with oil will it help gear selection? I am confident the adapter setup is correct.
Thanks for all your help

Seem to miss this one.. where you at with it now?
My box has been sat for about 4 years with no oil in.. filled it up last night so should have a few months of soaking before it gets tested... did yours come good in the end? _________________ 1971 Devon Bay with 1800 Ford Turbo Diesel Engine (wip)
