Its been so long since the inception of this build that I've genuinely lost hair in the process.

ITS STILL PURPLE THOUGH, RIGHT?

Not done anything for months!

Holiday and long weekends away plus a few health issues have stopped me doing anything!

But I might do something over the next couple of weeks.

Photo link works for me! Not sure it will for everybody!

Its the two different trigger wheels the diesel one in front of the ABF one in a vice!
Had to drill a sud hole in the ABF one to fit the diesel crank

I've gone back over this thread to find out what engine you are using, seems similar to mine.  The last picture works for me.

Are you able to tell me if the holes for the timing discs in the ABF and diesel cranks are in the same place when compared to each other?  I'd like to confirm if the ABF timing disc sits in the same place as it should when changed to the diesel version.

I have a timing disc to put on to a diesel crank in an ABF block, I just have to strip it down first.

Hopefully this will solve your problem.  Are you using the new management?

Good to see some progress on this
