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 |

Plug wires: If the distributor drive is in the "correct" orientation, the two plug wires on the left side must cross over each other. (Left-front tower on the cap goes to left-rear spark plug.) The two plug wires on the right do not have to cross. (Right-front cap tower goes to right-front plug.)

Wires are going to proper plug. (even removed the air cleaner just to make sure I was following the wires correctly). Did not see anything unusual when I removed valve covers. Rods are seated in rockers. I did not rotate engine but some have play, others do not as would be expected based on engine position. When I did do valve adjust, none were off by very much. I did not adjust or check ignition timing but I suppose it is possible that the distributor moved and I should check that as well?? |

When I did do valve adjust, none were off by very much. Did you actually perform the valve adjustment procedure when you adjusted them? I would say that proper valve adjustment is key. It would help you diagnose if there is a real problem and costs the least $$. So you have been running it on & off, but is it still backfiring, or did it only do it a few times? |
