I then put £5 worth of optimax in her as fuel needle was very low
also cleaned the dizzy cap with cloth and plug connection to the dizzy itself
I have tried starting her up now after all this, but she just keeps cranking over now and won't fire at all or run.
HELP PLEASE!
if the car ran then it didn't run when you put the leads on as per the picture i would be under the impression that you have put the leads on wrong. it could be possable that the distributer has been taken out in the past and not put back in the right place, put the engine on TDC no.1 cylinder and check to see if the rotor arm is pointing at no. 1 lead on the distributer cap.
