My /6 conversion is going on 3 years as it seems as many do. I had a local old school reputable shop build the stock 2.7, case was done at Ollies, .... should be a great engine. Finally trying to get her barking, but just won't take hold. While cranking she wants to start, but when I release the starter, she conks out. We have a spark (not real significant), timing is close, carbs appear ok.
Is it possible the valves or maybe rings are not sealing because the engine sat for about 2 years? |

ON TO SOMETHING
as you can imagine, this driving me crazy. MB911 lit a spark with his suggestion of a compression check. I slept on it last night and had a plan. My compression gauge is old school, two pieces. One end threads into the spark plug hole with a male quick connect coupler and the other end contains the gauge with a mate to the female quick connect. Compression with all plugs removed and WOT is 120 + - across the board. I am happy with this as the rings are not yet seated. What got me thinking was having the end threaded into cyl #1 and listen to the compression as I crank the motor. It is looking like the distributor is retarded at least one tooth. As I am cranking the motor over I can hear a whoosh from #1 cylinder at least 20 or 30 degrees before the notch on the distributor body. Just may have found it. Thanks all contributors, and everyone enjoy the holiday with thanks to those who served to keep us the greatest nation ever Being the holiday, it looks as though the rest of the day will be spent with my wife, kids and grandkids. |
