I beleive a std cosworth one will fit because i assume it uses the same inlet so just the cover is changed. Use cometic type.

Alrity man.

Yeah diff was fitted 2 weeks ago, then when i fired it up to go a wee spin, he seemed to be running on 3/4 not fully on 3, just not quite 4.
Had to move it from work anyway but the drive home was a bitty painfull.
Sounded like a rice rocket,scoobs are just not my thing!

Anyway, think its the inlet as i had it off before crail and its the only thing i can think of,got a sensor kit too and a stainless cap for my dizzy now am on msd ws.

How you getting on with yours? Any outings on the horizon?

Cheers guys,
Think I'll avoid the window glue for just now.

Col - let me know how you get on, Ive already put new leads and plugs on. TBH i kinda think the problem is with the loom, @ the injectors, just seems far to tight, not much movement at all.
Cometic it is then.

Cheers

Glad you traced the problem col.
I ordered a loom connector set off the bay, had the same problem years ago and AG traced it to an injector conection.
TBH I'll be putting a new loom in the next year or so when i take the engine out for a freshen up, so hopefully i can cure it for now with the connector kit.

Cheers for all the advice guys.
