B&M Converter is bad
I thought that the vacuum might have to be hooked up to manifold... The advance still gets hooked to ported correct?
Thanks for the idea to scribe the lines! Makes it much more simple and easier to read Im sure.
Just to be sure Im using a 318 timing cover with the timing marks cast into the cover and it reads. 10*BTDC, 0, 10*ATDC. With the before being towards the top of the engine or just under the water pump. That cover will still work correct?
The vacuum gauge needs to be hooked to manifold vacuum, not ported. It should be pulling close to 13" at idle when correct, not 1".
F the timing tape. Roll the timing mark to 10 btdc on your timing cover, make a mark at 5 ATDC, roll that new mark to 10 BTDC and make a mark at 5 atdc. run a scribe over each mark. You should now have a balancer marked so you can time the car anywhere to 40 BTDC. Marks will be 0, 15 and 30 BTDC.
It will look like this.
If you are looking over the drivers fender the new marks should be below your TDC mark on balancer.
