Hey all, been doing a little bit here and there with my friends 5L, I helped him to replace the fuel, heater and vacuum lines from around the back of the engine, and replace the distributor, and inlet manifold gaskets. I have been able to get it cranking over happily and have noticed it likes spitting back though the intake, I have re-timed it to the first notch on the retarded side of the timing marks, which made a big difference to its general happiness but it seems there is no fuel at the rail, Could I get an idea on what line on the firewall does what if possible? also is there more to do with setting the base timing? I know my Verada requires a terminal earthed or it will try to fight the timing adjustment.
Also I feel that I have run the heater hoses around differently as the passenger side hose sits fairly weird and the heater tap is trapped in between the fuel rail and the thermostat housing. I'm going down to try to get it running tonight so I will get some photos of the heater hoses and the general state of the engine as well,
also the engine number starts with VU so I know this is a VN-VS engine
