So after 5 long months of work, I finally have the 2056 built and installed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
I have a couple questions about the 123 4RV distributor. I haven’t hooked it up to power yet, but from my understanding, you hook up only the red wire and then power the ignition and a light should come on in the body of the distributor. 1) Since our motors go in a CW direction, the first movement of the distributor goes clockwise until the light turns off? Then CCW until the green light comes on? Correct? 2) The engine has dual carb Webber 40’s/Web cam 86a/Mild port and polished stock valve heads. My question is what setting should I use on the distributor? From what I see it looks like curve #3. Does this sound right? 3) Do I use the vacuum port on the distributor body to the base of one of my carbs, or do I plug it off, or do I leave it open? Thanks in advance for any info!

Ok….im just going to plug it off for now and once I get it on the road, if it’s not acting right I will mess with the vacuum port.
As far as a ballast, if you are referring to the white bar that is by the coil, yes. This is how it was when I bought it, so I hooked it up exactly like it was. If this is not correct, please advise on what to do to remove it. I’m not the best with the electrical paths that are present on these cars and what is best once switched to carbs. Thanks again for all the compliments and advice. My strengths are making things look good, not necessarily with motors and electrical paths. Kudos to all the help I had with building this engine, it took forever because I built it twice….lol. |
