Check your wiring to the Starter, alternator and your engine earths.

sh*t James thank f**k for clearing that up! Was just gonna' suggest that.

Incidentally I had a puncture the other day - turned out it was the dizzy cap too

Seriously though, impressed at how fast you've cracked through your engine swap and stuff. Good luck getting the beast going :)

PROBLEM FIXED!!!

when doing a manual conversion make sure that you connect the 2 wires that stop you from turning the car on if not in park, I have since connected them up

now it works.......
