Hi Tony,
Ok the pin is intact in the correct position we split the box to check it.
The hall sensor is present and correct and the wiring to and from it are
checking out fine.
The distributor has not been moved since removing the engine from my other
running car.
He seems to think now that he has made an error somewhere between the relay
plate and the body harness as the wiring had to be changed there.
Thanks for the suggestions.
