Alright here is the deal, ever since i converted to carbs i have had my spark plug wires set up like this ( picture ) but it runs crappy and I set the timing but still runs like crap. Now my question is after I was browsing pictures on here I see that it looks like my plug wires are set up wrong. But when i switch them to like this ( 2nd picture ) it just turns over and then ... pops like a timing issue. WTF!

Yep! Backwards, it holds the cap up enough to interfere with contact between the prong on the cap, and the rotor. Thus, running like crap!

Cranking but no starting other than some "puffs". Advance module was in right place, so knew I didn't have the dizzy in wrong (and didn't move car w/o dizzy while in gear...) |
