Okay so I took the dizzy out, turned the engine over once and thought I saw a dimple on the intake cam, put it back together and it didn't run. Checked with the timing light and couldn't see the notch in the crank pulley. So dizzy out, turn engine over again and then I noticed the actual dimple (which is huge, very easy to see) in the intake pulley, dizzy in. Then I started getting error code 6 (RPM signal) so I had a look around and noticed a snapped wire at the distributor plug (and the other 2 were looking pretty worn at the join) so I jumpered that with alligator clips and it fired up straight away!

Thanks for all of the help guys! :D
