Hey all,
My ride is sounding like it wants to start, but I need to know some info that I don't have in my book. Things to check: -Where should I statically time it? -What order do the plug wires go on the dizzy? -What direction does the rotor turn, CW or CCW? I may have missed something, but I know I have spark and that I have been able to adjust the dizzy so that at least one cylinder was hindered upon ignition. I need to re check my wire4s fro sure, but I am looking for some difinitve info. Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) |

- I don't use braided ignition wires, and mine has run great for the last few years.
- The firing order is 1-6-2-4-3-5, so this is the plug wire order around the distributor cap. - Pretty sure the distributor rotation is CW, maybe some one else will confirm When I reinstalled my distributor, I started with everything at TDC, so I turned the engine to TDC for #1. The flywheel passes TDC twice during one rotation of the distributor, once for #1 and again for #4. Setting the engine at TDC for #4 and then installing the distributor pointing to #1 will definitely cause problems. TDC is the Z1 mark on the flywheel (and I believe it is marked on the pulley's if you are using those for your reference). There should be a mark on the distributor housing where rotor is pointing to cylinder 1. I lined the rotor up with that mark and reinstalled the distributor, tightened things down, started the engine and set the timing. Let me know if you need pics of anything. -Justin |
