The ht leads dont fit the cvh head so I wandered what any ones anyone have used?

Also what spark plugs? as apparantly this can have an effect when swapping to EDIS

I ran my cvh on megajolt and used standard cvh plugs with no probs

I think i used fiesta leads or ford ka, just went to local motor factors and looked at a few ford sets from around the coilpack era until i found some

The Radio Supressor should nto make any difference on starting, it's often even ommited from the ford diagrams.

Stop faffing about man and get it running

Thats the plan, got it sparking properly now, so just need the carbs sorting, will try the sierras carb just for a giggle!

[twinturbo]

It's a good starting point!

I have ZX6 carbs for mine, but there's no way I would put them on before having the engine running in stock for first.

It's started, bolted the old knacked carb on found the mechanical fuel pump and regulator in a box of bits, bodged some spark plug leads from halfrauds, wouldn't go on first try, swapped the coil pack connections over and it rawed into life, sacred the crap out of me with no manifold on, only ran for 10 seconds, but it went!
The carb had none of its other connections hooked up just fuel.
