i had loads of earth wires that bolted to the back of the engine, but mine may be different, just a thought but did u have to take the distributor out so that the engine would drop down enough, if you did make sure you have not put it back in a couple of teeth off as it wont fire up at all like that, are the plugs sparking? and do u have fuel?

ideal glad you got it sorted, im with adrian flux, its the only place that would insure me, £213 is the renewal price that ive just paid.
Hope my trannys gonna be alright, its cost me about 450 in total but half of that is what i paid the first guy to bugger it up
