After my rebuild i need to know if this looks right. When i was putting it together i thought i fallowed the instructions of tom Wilson's book. But i may have done something wrong. With the piston at top of stroke the red mark it lined up but the rotor is between 1and 2 at the cap with the mark on the dizzy pointing to the case deciding line. If you look close there is a mark to the left of the red one and that correspondence to a factory mark on the opposite sidethat i thought should be showing with the piston at the top. But its not showing but the red one shows. The mark on the flywheel is dead center though. Can someone guide me from here? The motor is a 1.8Lt, 96 pistons stock crank, scat cam for carbs, 34 ict dual carbs. Thank

It looks to me like your distributor is clocked incorrectly.
I don't have anything here to reference at the moment but I think it should be turned about 75 degrees clockwise, the vacuum canister should point toward the oil file/breather. You mat also have to lift a rotate the distributor drive gear to get the distributor to orient correctly. There are some pictures around the show the angle of the slot in the drive gear relative to the case mating line. And the slot in the drive gear is offset to one side slightly and is not always easy to discern. Jim |
