As you have a distributor, then there should only be one coil & the HT lead from the middle of the dizzy cap should go straight to it 
This is possibly an incredibly dumb question...... I'm not entirely sure of the distributor in the Scorp, but is it like the old ones, with contact breaker points....if so, then are they set to the right gap ? 
Everyone can start laughing now if they want

Hi matey, no problem lol, the car has a dizzy with the rota arm but strangely enough i had a bit of a problem with finding a dizzy as apparently most 2.9s never had them, but thanks for your info, i know its not the coil as its brand new, bloody cars lol
many thanks

There IS only the one coil. There is no points 'gap' to set. It's all electronic igntion based.
Only thing that immediately springs to mind is if you have maybe moved the Distributor body itself, (loose clamp bolt even), and knocked the ignition timing out.
