Definitely going to take some unpicking, this... Bah!

Definitely check for if there any water in the fuel tank...

Plus It always worth cleaning out the fuel tank on an old car like that..

This alpine owner problem was caused by a burned distributor rotor

My engine is running again! It was the rotor of the distributor which was burnt through. Amazing that it was running sometimes with high RPM's.

Just something else worth checking..
