Car now running like a pig, as before. I invested in a mobile classic mechanic/tuner and after 3 hours we've come to the conclusion that I am now looking for twin SU carbs to replace the Hitachis (that don't have fuel alteration capability, so I'm told).

Well there ya go....
Annoys me when people buy an old Japanese car, then service it, throwing away all the decent Japanese parts and fitting non genuine rubbish thinking they're done a good job...

Yes. Somewhat disappointed. I have sent him a "tactful" e-mail and he responded by saying that he was glad I got it sorted. He added that, in his experience, coils fail completely.........mine obviously hadn't.
It was a simple diagnosis by Will. He set up the timing light to check the timing (obviously...duh!) and noticed that it was "stuttering". Clamped it onto another lead, and a third one, and it did the same. Working back (the dizzy cap and rotor arm were new) meant that this referred to the coil. He pulled an old but original one from somewhere and connected it up. Instant smoothie! Now I know... and you do too!
