Sorry rusty, not trying to make it difficult man. I've never delt with points so it's a learning experience, we are all dumb in something. I'll give it a shot and see what happens when the storms clear out. Thanks again for your help.

I got the points gapped to 18 and that brought the dwell up to about 30. Just to make sure I'm setting the gap correctly, I measure when it'd resting on the point of the cam in the distributor not the flat part correct?

Ok awesome. I'll try to close it up to 17 and see of that helps. Keep you posted and thabks again man.

I dont think my dwell is right. Just tried it and it's around 21/22. When I stop cranking ot goes all the way to the left at 60. Do I need set the point gap closer?

Oh ok awesome. I'll have to give that a shot tomorrow at lunch time.

I didnt check with a dwell. I do have one my neighbor or gave me. Just need to research how to use it/ where readings should be. Wouldn't that only work if the motor is running?

Haha I started laughing at her. She's 7 and enjoying the process. She's already claimed the car. That one was yellow but I've put in a new coil and need to look at that one to see what color it is. It's a points distributor and I've replaced the points and condensor. I gapped them at 17 or 20...

Yes sir. Pulled that out and my daughter shocked me because she started cranking before I laid the spark plug down.. she thought it was funny haha.

Ok cool. This thing has me stumped. Getting fire in and out of the distributor, pit a little gas innthe carb and it's not even trying to fire. I juat need to get it running good enough to take it to the dmv and show its a running/stopping car so I can start the process of getting the car in my...

Even with the distributor pointed away from #1? I thought when the distributor was pointed at 1 with timing points lining up it was in time then?

Thanks man. I'll need to do that to mine. I got to the timing gears and there was so much stuff on it I couldn't find thr timing marks. After a while of cleaning I could make out the outline so u dabbed some white paint on it. It looks like it's in time (cousnt get them to line up perfectly...

That would work. I still can't attach the photo for some reason. Thanks man

Thanks for the info. I'd prefer to have one so I'll probably opt to put one in there. I'd this the timing mark I'm looking for? Top lip closest to the motor? Not sure if pic uploaded I keep getting an error message

Sweet. I could have sworn my dart had one in high school. I remember my uncle using beating the balancer on then using the bolt to snug on the motor.

Ok cool. It's installed correctly. It was running great before I replaced the brake lines. Now it just spins over without trying to crank. I know I'm getting fire to the plugs and have gas in the carb. Thinking it has something to do with timing.

Thanks man. I'll clean that thing off and see what I can find. I was looking for a timing mark/slit in the top of the balancer but couldn't find it to save my life. Should there be a bolt in it going into the crank? I didn't feel one.

Hey guys. Checking the timing on the slant six but I don't see a timing mark. Harmonic balancer could be too cruddy to see it without sanding around it. But is this half moon part of the timing mark? I'm used to seeing a little slit on the harmonic balancer. I have the distributor pointed to #1...
