Yesterday, with some help from my 2 boys, I got my '76 2.0 short block on the engine run stand. I need help setting it up. It's late 2.0, complete, all stock, EFI. I'm looking for any info, any help at all. I've read few dozen threads about engine stands, but most of them deal with yokes, adapters and such. I need help with wiring and actually test running the engine. If local guys can stop by this long weekend and land me a hand, you'd really do me a solid and I'll return the favor. I'll serve beer of your choice. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I have great news to report. I did as Nathan suggested - cold engine, throttle open, all spark plugs out and the numbers came in excellent.
#1 - 120psi (was 65psi) #2 - 115psi (was 80pis) #3 - 115psi (was 70pis) #4 - 125psi (was 70pis) I also charged battery for 24hr, so starter was spinning a lot livelier. QUOTE There is no purple wire on the coil that I am aware of. There are two black wires, one of which is thicker than the other. The thicker one probably has a red stripe on it, and gets +12V when the ignition is on. That one goes to the coil (+) terminal. The thinner one has a purple stripe, and carries the tach signal. It connects to the coil (-) terminal, just like the wire from the points/condensor does. The red and purple both fade, so they can be a bit difficult to tell apart. That's why I mention that the one is thicker than the other. --DD Hmm, I mine are solid black and solid purple w/ same width. PO warned me that car had electrical problems, maybe those wires were replaced. |
