ignition timing is governed by cam timing, which will have changed. The dizzy needs retarding.

no, turn the dizzy towards the fornt of the car! If ur looking at it from the passenger wing, turn it anti clockwise.

As above but to be honest you'd be safer driving it under 5k if you dont want meltdown

quick question on a similar subject,
when refitting the dizzy it slots into the 2 slots, does it matter what one goes into which slot?
