So research uncovered the negative bolted to the underfloor of the car. It's officially Negative Earth after all that.
I also noticed the wires to the coil were not attached correctly - so why did it work at all ? Anyway we'll see. Perhaps try the old coil - or two as I found the old one and one that looked totally unused.
So just for the laugh I replaced the distributor and re-started the car. Started fine after the obligatory tweak. Did the timing to 12 deg and idled fine for ages too.
Drove ok in the drive too so I risked a short test drive. Not so good - missed a bit and seemed to be dying so I came home quickly.
Now it have to sit there for a while while I think about it.
Aero into town for jobs and that's about it.
