Still well within limits mate.
Like i said before, you don't need to do a wet test, only if the dry test is iffy, and its well within limits.

It's what I though too.

Still...

Doubt engine would make it to Spain and back...

So it's a good enough excuse to upgrade to an ABF  :evil:

Change the engine if you want, but there doesn't seem anything wrong with the 8v lump.
Does it run properly with decent leads on it?

I'll get the money back from the donor car anyway, so it's more or less a free conversion.

Engine did run OK with the old leads.
