John, cheers mate, hopefully tomorrow evening will be all systems go.
Niall, no I haven't run a full length earth as it shouldn't be necessary.
I have all the oem wiring loom earths in place and the main oem earth system goes [engine to battery], [engine to body] and [body to battery].
I have one engine to body and two body to battery from different earth points, the bigger of which should be a very good earth point.
I'm going to get the wire brush out and clean all the earth points tomorrow and add a pair of engine to chassis ones from different points on the engine to different OEM points on the chassis. At the back I'm going to clean up all the earth points I'm using again and add a third earth wire to a totally different point (the 2 points I'm using are already about a meter apart). If that doesn't make her run I might have a bit of a hissy fit.
