Bit of an update,

Have had a missfire since putting the motor in (fine on idle / part throttle without much load) but as soon as you load it with much throttle go past 1/2 throttle at certains rpms, you get a missfire...which seemed to get worse as it got hot...

So I made the assumption that the coilpack was likely bad (stupid coil on plug getting hot crap that i detest) and ordered up a ford coilpack and some HT leads and converted it..

However the problem seems to be made worse! I now have a really bad missfire upon even the most slight throttle use....and its a constant missfire on load....

Now im kind of thinking we seem to have an ignition feed issue? Would the newer coils likely require a stronger pulse in the first place, hence upgrading the coils has made the "issue" worse if i have a bad pulse?

Will go over grounds / power feeds tomorrow, but wondered if anyone had any ideas? Was going well otherwise, but this made it alot worse!
