Hey guys, We put my rebuilt 1.7 in my 72 but when I went to start it the thing won't fire. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Is it the timing? The guy that rebuilt it supposedly set it before we put it in but that doesn't mean its right. Can I check the timing if it won't start? Any tips on how to get it running would be greatly appreciated. Its starting to get warm again and I should be driving this instead of my truck. Any suggestions? thanks Scott |
