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 |

Well, do I ever feel like a dope. How many times did I say that the wires were in proper position? (don't answer that).
Sure enough I swapped 2&3 on the distributor and it now sounds like it should. I am reminded of the time my XJ6 died on the road and I had it towed to a well known Jag specialist. After 2 weeks he could not diagnose the "no start". Based on forum feedback I kept asking if timing was right to which he responded it was spot on. I stopped by there and looked at the engine and then at another XJ6. Distributor was 180 degrees off. Turned it to correct position and she fired up. He still had the nerve to charge me for several hours diagnostic time. Anyhow, thanks for all the help and guidance from everyone. While I feel like a dope, I am also relieved it was something stupid. Next issue, she is idling at 3500 RPM with throttle body screw turned all the way in. Thanks again. |
