400/4 build. Paused due to other commitments. But starting up again
ComfySofa:
Yep - the coils are working well, really good strong spark across all 4.....nice jolt up my right arm!

Update: Just read it clears so great! 😁
Looking at your picture you have the yellow wire for cylinders 2 & 3 on the left - thats fine if you have the HT leads accordingly I believe convention is Blue on the left for 1 & 4.

I've only ever seen Blue on the right, 1 & 4 Ted.
ComfySofa:
Ive got the coils the other way round so it seems to match - i think....followed a video - really dont think ive got it right but, it did start....the header of cylinder 3 is cold - it starts and revs to about 3k and sits there until kill the ignition...so thats a little bit of a result....!
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
So is it just one cold exhaust on number 3?
3 out of 4 is a good start
Have you checked number 3 plug is it wet.
Might be worth switching the leads to eliminate a poor HT connection or if you have a spare lead try it.
Or switch the leads for 2&3 see if the problem moves
ComfySofa:
Had to come back in as I've got an early start tomorrow I've got spare HT but no plugs to go in the coils....I'll be back in tomorrow night...and the weekend.
