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 |

Not all four, start with the basics to make sure you have spark at every cylinder, then pull the valve covers and wiggle all the rockers

Not all four, start with the basics to make sure you have spark at every cylinder, then pull the valve covers and wiggle all the rockers On the rockers, what am I checking for when I wiggle them? I presume I am looking to see that the rods are properly seated? I have confirmed that wires are correct from plugs to distributor. For testing plugs, just use an inline spark plug tester??? Thanks. Really frustrating after getting this far. For what it is worth: Plugs (NGK), Wires (Magnecor), Distributor cap and rotor (rev limiting) are all new. NOS MPS and NOS Decelleration valve. New wiring harness from Bruce. Adjusted valves when I did the pushrod tubes (they were pretty close, only minor adjustment) Injectors are new, although I had installed them and used them prior to engine drop. New fuel pump, all new fuel lines. New HTS Has pertronix (or similar under the cap). I did not do anything with ignition timing but also have not checked it since engine back in. The TPS board is new but again, was replaced prior to engine drop and was working. Vacuum hoses are all new as are gaskets under the throttle body. |
