Last week I put my 1.7L engine in. I rebuilt it a few years ago and
just got around to working on the project again. Well after valve adjusting and timing I started it last week. This week I pulled the distributor to clean it up and re-time the engine. I'm trying to figure out why when I rotate the distributor to static time the no.1 cylinder at TDC the vacuum advance hits the cold start valve connector. Has anyone see this before? |

It is quite possible that when you pulled the dizzy you also lifted the dizzy drive gear. When you reseated it, it is a tooth or so off.
Or you assembled the dizzy drive shaft incorrectly when the engine was rebuilt. You can simply change the HT wires on the cap to a different position so that static timing #1 will give you enough swing on the dizzy to time it running, Or, you can rotate to TDC #1, pull and reinstall the dizzy drive gear in the correct position. Remember the washers that might be underneath it though, |
