so we put the original 62k engine back in that had not had the distributor removed. Adjusted the valves (again after we put about 10 miles on it) we rebuilt the Webbers and it fired up. We did some timing and tweaking on the carbs.
It ran OK but a little shy of perfect. I replaced the wires and it seemed to improve it but idled a little high around 1,200. My son came over to work on it the next day, but I wasn't home. All of a sudden, it won't even run. we swapped distributers (both 009's) with the parts car, then swapped points (adjusted to 0.016). no improvement. tested spark to all four cylinders. I seems like it's really out of timing but we didn't change it much. (except for the fact that we took the distributor out) my son says we have spark, too much fuel, and not enough air. What do we do next????? ![]() |

Make sure to post the solution when you do figure things out. We love stories of "Oh, you mean you need to plug the coil in for it to work?" Makes the rest of us feel in like-minded company.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Yes. I'm looking forward to it. My son had to go with his step dad to Comic Con in KC, so we will be back at it tomorrow or Monday. Before he left he yanked these off. Probably so I couldn't mess with it while he was gone. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) not sure why plug wire #1 is so tight? ![]() ![]() |
