Remove the leads from the old coil pack one at a time and fit them to the new coil pack one at a time making sure they go back in the same position.
But yes, its very easy to do!

JORD!!
(Sorry to spoil your epic thread!! powder coating is awesome)
do you happen to have an old fuel pump lying around?? I need to find out the part number for a valver fuel pump.
If he'd have fitted a 172 engine straight in he wouldn't have had a problem. He had a problem because the CAM TIMING WAS OUT!!! Ergo, the engine had been apart.
WV54 ZVX...... I'm sure thats my old company car...... does it Say Carco Group or SJ Cook and sons on the Logbook as one of the previous owners by any chance???
If it is, it should have Cabbasse stereo and cool pack (Electric roof and climate control)
I know cos I ordered it when I worked...
Back on topic....
That is a stunning example! I had a mint 1.6 205 and loved it and if I had the time and/or money i'd have love to have done that! Conversion looks to be well thought out and executed also. £2900 isn't really a lot of money for that car really.
Well i've had 2 williams, I've had 3 Valvers and I've now got my 172'd valver and I can safely say (From a very short test run) that the 172'd car is by far the fastest. Not even close.
There you go mikey!!
Buy a smashed up 172 for say £800. remove engine/box etc and put to one side. Sell the rest of the bits from the smashed up car (At least £800 worth!) the engine owes you nothing. Buy f0xy's loom/ecu and use that.
Find a mint valver to fit it to and bobs your monkhouse!
How so??
Is that all you're basing it on? If I was to have just swapped over the engine in my car (I'm not including the extras i've fitted) It would have cost me about £500.
Now you can't honestly believe thats a waste of time can you??
