Have you double checked your cam timing? Is the rotor arm pointing to Number 1 HT lead contact when the cam/bottom end is timed up to TDC on cylinder 1?

i had a loada hassle with the metering head when i changed it, is ur mates car running more/less bhp then your car? if there is a big difference the metering unit will need adjusting (well thats what i had to do) hope this helps

Have you checked the solid plastic pipe that goes from the breather filter on the back left of the rocker cover to the base of the metering head. Any airleaks or cracks in this can be detrimental to the car running or starting at all.
