+1. Nothing wrong with the original nylon, even when operating with modern fuels.

+1 for nylon. I put a new set on mine a couple of years ago. They came from Limora (I'm in Germany) which is SC Parts in the UK. They're fine but we're expensive. I'd go to Carl Fiitchett / Prestige Injection in Cheadle if I were you.

Good luck!

I'm back !!!!

Fitted new nylon hoses from TR Trader - thank you Carl, top bloke.

Engine no 1 TDC - no 6 on the metering unit fully open. Car will not start. Dizzy pointing at no 1

Checked plugs - ok strong spark

Checked injectors - could be better. Replaced all 6 injectors - thanks again Carl - bled injectors. Car will still not start? Checked plugs which are wet so getting fuel.

What am I missing?????

Thanks for any words of wisdom. At the moment its a bloody big yellow brick in the garage.

Should you not be seeing a crescent shape in no.6 on the metering unit? Can't remember which side it needs to be though.

Yes you should

And don’t forget the position the crescent appears in is different depending on wether it’s a CP or CR

Firing order correct. I think it is the timing. How would I set no1 at 10 degrees before TDC with the engine not running?

Simple static timing with a light bulb wire and two crocodile clips.   
John Twiss of University Motors did a video for MG which is the same technique for TR.
