Hi, I have a 205 Pinto I bought a couple of months ago that was in a hot rod and was running apparently. I've put it in my mk2 Escort but unable to get it to fire.
I am using temporary wiring at the moment to get it started which looks like this
With the engine set to TDC
This is the rotor arm and the HT lead positions
Sometimes it doesn't try and fire at all and other times it spits fuel out of the Weber 32/36 carb.
There is fuel getting to the carb and also tried with starting spray. Sometimes that causes the engine to bog down and turn over very slowly.
Compression is even between 125 and 130 psi on all 4 cylinders and the spark plugs are sparking.
Is there anything I missing here?
