Default Essex v6 starting problems

Hi,

The engine is a 1975 essex v6, it fired up a month ago and since I've fitted new exhaust manifolds and powder coated a few bitss, haven't touched the engine aside from fitting new plugs and leads, I didn't mark the firing order but I've loked at two other essex v6 (later types) and copied there firing order.

The engine has fuel, spark and air.

Its done 10,000 miles, when I tried firing it up it tries to start but never does, I also tried jump starting it by twoing it with another car and in 2nd gear when I release the clutch the rear wheels lock up (rear wheel drive) and nothing happens.

Any idea's? I'm thinking the plugs may be on in the wrong order but I can't find anything out until monday when I try phoning graham walker spares.

cheers,
steven
