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) |

To complicate matters further (once you get it to run), I had trouble with idle speed using a stock 2.7 CIS distributor and carbs without connecting the vacuum diaphragm. The stock idle setting with the vacuum retard on a CIS is about 5 degrees ATDC. When I set the timing where it had proper full advance at 6000 I was unable to get the idle much below 2000 rpm with carb speed screws fully backed off.
I have since changed to a '73 E distributor and the car performs much better, but my idle is still too fast. I may need to connect the vacuum retard. Still messing with the carb adjustment. |
