Another testing night!!
Finally got the distributor fitted, put some oil in the engine and the rocker cover leaked oil down the back !!
I will have to get a new gasket from work tommorrow
Next put some brake fluid in and that leaked on the union under the clutch housing, brake fluid everywhere! Tighten that up and sorted the problem then found one of the rear unions had also leaked on the floor. That was tightened and the mess cleaned up. Then I went to bleed the clutch only to find I hadn't connected the clevis pin on top of the pedal. With all the other stuff now in the car it was a struggle
As I said a testing night!

With nights like them, there is only one solution! Crack open a tinny, sit back and relax!

They say life begins at that age...Though I personally haven't seen any evidence of it yet for me

Right had a better night tonight. Got the coils fitted and the clutch bled.
Now I know there's discussions about wether to wrap exhausts or not but I have, rightly or wrongly time will tell
Though I did wet it first and used cable ties to hold it in place until it was all done( these were removed once the steel clips were fitted)
