Well I bought an adapter and fitted a weber off a 2L cortina and immediately the car was running better, but not great. Cold te car is still a pig but now it at least idles kind of when it is hot. There is still the chuff chuff constantly like the engine is missing and I am thinking it may be ignition related.
I was in a rush to pick my GF up from the airport I didn't even open the weber up for a clean, I just chucked it in dry and after a few cranks away it went. I am suprised the thing even started.
I do have a leak on the diaphragm in the dizzi which I am sure is one of the reasons the car is still running rough.
I am also guessing it would be a good idea to check the exhaust valve clearances, if one was too tight it might contribute to this problem.
As for the distributor, is there an electronic one that would fit straight in?
Anyway there is still more to be done before this runs properly but I don't want to polish the old turd too much.
