Default 8v DOHC kit car project

Hi folks building a westfield/lotus 7 replica,
Got wheels, coilovers and engine all in. What part of the loom will be required just to get engine started. Im not sure if people are aware that it is mechanical ignition so surely its just a case of getting fuel system sorted? cheers

Its a great torquey engine and will go nicely in a westfield type kit car. By mechanical ignition do you just mean the distributor cap and rotor arm? If you have the engine wiring loom and ecu it should just simply be plug and play.
