Thanks Mike. The HT leads are attached in the right order. The car ran before. I feel like I'm at TDC for #1. The Haynes manual talks about the 12deg for the dizzy shaft... Should be about the same direction as rotor? Anyway, I will double check everything before pulling the dizzy.

I am not sure that the 12 degrees of the shaft lines up with the rotor.
But if you are at TDC make the location of the rotor #1 regardless of where it is pointing and follow the firing order changing the locations of the wires as needed. Then try to start. It sounds like it is right and you just need to rotate the dizzy to get it close. |

Starting problem solved! I left it alone for a couple of days and stopped thinking about it. Then, went to start and realized I didn't hear the fuel pump when first turning the ignition. Duh!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Turns out the fuse on the relay board wasn't sitting in it's cradle properly. Started right up. So, I set the timing to 27 deg BTDC at 3500 rpm, vacuum line removed from dizzy.
So, another problem has come up. The idle has always been a bit high, even once warmed up. About 1200 rpm. So, I figured to adjust it once timing was set. All vacuum lines are intact and in their proper places (at least where they were when I got the car). So, after setting the timing, I plugged the vacuum line back to the canister on the dizzy (the pip pointing back to the dizzy). I believe this the retard port. Other one has nothing attached. When I did this and adjusted the idle screw to idle down, the car stumbled and won't run. Pull the line off, runs fine. The only way it runs with vacuum line attached is by setting the idle to about 1200 rpm. Is this a problem with the decel valve? I think the hoses may be backwards. (On mine, the side port goes to TB and the large front port to the air cleaner). Saw a pic on the archives that has them the other way. Thanks for all the help. |

Decel valve has absolutely nothing to do with idle. More than likely, the tps is improperly set.

does the screw that holds down the petronix unit go all the way through the upper advance plate and hit the bottom plate?
That was an issue with some of them....might want to look close at that screw. It would cause idle issues. |
