Really wished i had labled all plug and connectors before removing them, oh well you live and learn.

If its along the same lines as the old engine all the plugs etc should fall into the correct position approx with the loom in the correct place, if not HA HA have fun..

Tried them just now, unfortunatly as i suspected, as was the case with ECP also, its too specialised. It looks like i may have to grind the remainer of the old one off, drill and bolt an aftermarket one on.

All good fun but its holding me up now
