Well, I'm continuing with the build. While waiting for parts to arrive I decided to do a little more work on the engine and wire up the coil and add a cloth loom.
Here's the result:

I'm not sure where the loom goes to, so if anyone can offer some assistance for when the engine goes into the frame I'd appreciate it.

Take it around the front of the engine frame and back down the other side toward the bulkhead.
Along the way, you should pick up the wires from the alternator, and more wires from the washer bottle and the firewall behind it..
They all 'join' next to the alternator, and the loom continues down the outer angled frame arm and under the heater box, to the voltage regulator next to the battery.
There is also a smaller loom running from the wiper motor and camshaft sensor which joins with the coil loom, and another small loom between the fluid reservoirs and the loom for the coil.

In reality, there should be LOTS more wires in each loom but 2-4 wires in each is plenty, and looks the part...

Some pics below - hope they help.

Roy.

Roy, you're a star. That gives me a very good idea for the loom.

It looks like I must extend it, but I'll wait until I have more of the engine finished so that I can be sure I'm puting everything in the right place.

Thanks again.
