Small update: I haven't set it on fire yet unfortunately. It's still ain't running though, or I should say not on all 4, maybe 2 or less.
Spark plugs, leads, rotor arm and distributor cap are new. All spark plugs are completely wet almost immediately after start up, there even seems to be a bit of fuel on the pistons when I take the plugs out.

What on earth could it be? Ignition itsself, or does it have some sort of ECU? Earth wires seem to be fine, starting to think about it now, I haven't had a look under the fuse box yet.

For the info it's a JN engine.

Have you changed the coil? are you getting any spark from all leads to the spark plugs?
i dont think all your spark plugs should be wet from fuel?

Yes changed the coil aswell today. Haven't had a second person to check the spark on all plugs.
