Sorry fellas a bit of a false alarm and have run out of time today to get it sorted after fixing the e brake in my 34. Hopefully get to look at it again tomorrow. Thanks for your patience and help to date.

Woohoo it runs and runs VERY well. Thanks for that offered help and support. Filed the points, cleaned the plugs, sanded the plug straps but still no start. Pulled the distrubitor cap and cleaned it up. Put in a new rotor cap. Had spark but not real hot. Pulled the distribitor body and realised I hadnt cleaned it fully including the contacts which got a light filing. We did that, put it all together and it fired up straight away and once warm idled like a champ. Super stoked. I knew it would be something simple. Thanks again all that helped.
