Cool, glad to hear you got it up and running. The 1800 is a great motor for a MK1.

Just saw this thread, glad she is alive.
With regards to the running like a pig, check for vacuum leaks and make sure you have a reducer, or a smaller return line from the carby. Otherwise the pump sends half the juice back to the tank and it will never run right.
Get it running and turn the dissy to the left to advance the timing and left to retard, if you go too far either way it stalls. Slightly to the left of the middle of the sweet zone is the best spot.
Also check your leads, dissy cap, rotor and plugs.
Hope she is running well now, I agree with Pete the Cordoba engines are the best easy upgrade for a mK1.
