loved the battery welding spot on , the early chevettes were fussy things used to have problems with valve gaps as these were set with engine running and not static, the main problem with the ballast system was they fire on turning over then die when you dropped the key back to normal position because they had no ballast feed or the resistor was knackered , still chuckling over the battery language lol

First do the static timing. Tool wise, all it requires is a bulb in a holder and a small length of wire. That should be done before using the timing gun. If it still runs rough after timing the engine. It looks as if you have a Stromberg 150CDSEV Carburettor. Have you checked the oil level in the damper? is the inlet piston correctly adjust? There maybe a problem with the float level or a pin hole in the carb diaphragm. Air leaks around the gaskets may be an issue. You can use brake fluid to lub. all rubber like when fitting the caps on the leads. 1:19 that should be festiviva 🎄 5:42 Nice to see you are talking welding already. 🕶 Get well soon, old bean.

Season's greetings and great to see you back and feeling better, but still clearly feeling a bit rough so do take care of yourself. I think your main issue might now be the timing and with the carb also maybe being a bit gummed up too. Some sort of additive might clear that? And as someone has said if you are using unleaded you need to be careful the valve seats were upgraded to take it - an unwelcome thought I know as it is a costly job, but I believe you can use an additive to make up for it being "non-leaded". Hope these thoughts help and all the best to you and your family for the coming year too.

Good luck with sorting out the fuel / sparking issues with your Viva, hope the octane rating is correct, can't remember whether you had hardened exhaust valve seats fitted. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 ❤ and happy 2023.🍺🍻🥃🪕🗽🌎👌👍

Thank you very much! Hope you had a good one! (I'm using a high octane fuel with a lead replacement additive)
