It either goes to the fuel pressure reg or on the underside of that black box.

^^^ Yes that's what I thought but cant see the connection pipe!
Oh well another weekend and its not finished!

[Len]

F*cked it!

Cracked this tightening up the dizzy!

[Len]

Well I do have that end cap off the old head so will have to trial fit that and see if it works!
Need to check that the engine will still turn with that end cap fitted.
had enough for now!

[Len]

maybe connects on this little bracket which goes on back of head??

Still cant see how or where this little bracket fits on the head!
Maybe its not the head itself but one of the inlet manifold supports??

With the small vac pipe you might need to unscrew the black breather bit and then you ll see where the vac pipe goes. Those 2 wires look like they go the stud under dizzy. I know the earth for coolant temp sensor goes there.

That little bracket goes on the back r/h corner of the cam cover. There is a steel pipe with a green cap coming up behind the mani/head that has a corresponding hole in it, which all bolts together as part of one of the upper manifold supports. The earth strap(s) then go onto the stud.

That should only be tightened to 15nm also need to do the cam caps up in a specific order. Make sure you cover the cam in plenty of engine oil to aid lubrication on startup.

[Len]

Was only using a small 10mm spanner!

[Len]

Now have to see if I can turn the engine over with the spare end cap (off old engine) secured. (hand tight)
Then check again with the cap torqued to 15Nm.

If not will have to get the broken one welded up!
