Well. My car lives. New wiring replaced the burnt stuff. New coil, plugs, leads, dizzy cap, rotor arm, vacuum advance pipe. Dont know how to do points or a condenser so I need to learn how to do them but it works and isn't on fire.
Happy days.
Thanks for the support and advice.

Re: Car caught fire
Going to replace all the ignition system. Struggling to find what the engine heat shield is called or where to get it from too if anyone has any ideas. That caught fire too.
Thanks
