Hello,
I'm back out at this again, having had a relatively intense run at work, I've finally got some time to myself for a few days.
I've currently had the carbs off to rebuild them and they're looking clean and free of grease and general crud. I've also made sure there is next to no play in the linkages and the mechanism that moves the jets. For good measure I fitted another set of needles (AAC) I believe.
I STILL HAVE A ROUGH RUNNING CAR!!!
I've got new plugs, new leads, new coil... Rebuild carbs, Re-shimmed valves, Replaced ALL gaskets on the inlet manifold and carbs, re-built the snapped fuel pipe (and it does not leak!) checked the timing, adjusted the mixture and my car is still running like a complete pig!
I've getting a little tired of spending any free time I have out at a car making little to NO progress on it's running issues.
One of my final thoughts were, have I moved the cam timing too far forward?

This is the cam timing locked, with the fatter end of the locking tab. (Yes, I'm aware I bent that piece of metal, however, I replaced it when the head came off.)
No matter what the ignition timing looks like, I seem to be getting a missfire, either through the carbs, or through the exhaust from what I can gather from Cylinder 1.
I'm at my wits end here guys, I've got a 2000tc I need to have either SOLD of EXPORTED by September and its mid-July with nearly no progress in 8 weeks.
Any suggestions? Cam timing is about all I can think of.
