Torqued new NKG iridium platinum plugs in at 14ft/lbs with no anti-seize. Then ready for the MSD coils which had been in a drawer for the last five years lol.

Then ran into an unexpected glitch! Some of the connectors didn’t fit. Closer inspection showed there were different female connectors on the MSD’s. Found I had to re-juggle the MSD’s so the simple two pin types went to a loom male with an orange seal. Loom males with a green seal would only fit the type with the internal plastic rib.

All the OME coils had one type of simple two pin connector. Clearly the loom on the engine was designed with two different coil connectors. (Actually the loom connectors are the females and the coil connectors are shrouded males).

Glad to say she fired up first time. My engine light has re-appeared though. Still have some hesitation on pressing on the go pedal. Found an unconnected sensor on the driver side rocker box vacuum take off and wondered if this matters? Wish I was near to a T4!

Not guaranteed to do you any good. Mine does not like a T4 poking around in its private bits. Been on Brian and Russ' T4s and both times there was a performance to get it to speak to the T4. Brian almost resorted to the Basil Fawlty "hit it with a tree branch" solution
