If there is spark and fuel to the rail and injection pulse,it should do something.I would take an injector out to see if it is opening.Possibly seized after being left for so long.This uses standard Lucas electronic ignition with dizzy ,so no tdc sensor fitted.Yes,I am one of the GOB's that used to work on these when new.Just a thought,is the coil wired correctly.There is a single wire that comes off the coil neg (from memory white/blue grey stripe)this is the engine speed reference signal back to ecu in boot.hth
