A big milestone, engine and tranny are back in car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Thanks to all who have helped me get this far.
I have reconnected clutch cable before anything else as I want to make sure this whole thing with the arm is correct. I now have 3/4 -1" play when pulling pedal up. I think there is still enough slack in cable that excess pressure is not on TOB. When pedal fully depressed to floor there is about 3/8" (rough measure) remaining before arm would hit the trans case. Here is pic of cable end. Does everything sound like it is within spec? Thx |

OK guys, advice needed.
Got fuel system hooked up last night. Today I went to start her up. She is still on jackstands at the rear. After cranking for a bit she did fire up. Idle is good. Not sure if it sounded "right", had me wondering if firing on all cylinders. I turned her off. Went back a bit later. Started her up. She started, did a loud backfire through the exhaust and stopped. I have not tried starting again. Hopefully nothing with the valve adjust. Am wondering if I could have crossed some spark plug wires. Is there a good diagram mapping position of wire on distributor to matching cylinder? Anything else I should consider? Ok, just started it again. A slight miss then seemed ok. I put a video here (crappy) but take a listen. Does it sound right to you? https://youtu.be/rYpMaJCDyes Thanks, Mike |
