IT LIVES!! thanks for the help guys. problem turned out to be a combination of faulty dizzy (initial problem) and tired carb. I put the five speed in too. Just in time to leave chch and drive the hundreds of ks north. it was a rushed but fun mission. Representing the winterless far north now. anyone from north of whangarei?

swapped flywheel, clutch and gearbox from sierra so it would all fit. got cortina drive shaft modified at circle track engineering. in the end it all came together pretty well considering i had no idea what i was doing. ended up just using a piece of steel channel for the crossmember with the rubber mount fitted in there too. works mint except that the exhaust now needs a hammering so it doesn't rattle on it at idle!

car is running on a bit when it's hot but have been filling with 91 so will try something higher to see if it cures it. heard that could be an easy fix.
