318 Engine stumble
Green is where the cap sits With the rotor pointing at the #1 tower. It’s further back from true TDC.......from my experience.....true TDC should be pointing here.
He teeth are offset as shown in the picture above.
Red is where true TDC is when the balancer is lined up. The teeth line up but the car won’t start and when it’s hot it backfires.
Yellow is where I think 0° on the timing light is. The car shut off before I could find it.....but it’s close to that. The timing light read 10° when I was able to start the car. It ran for a few minutes and then started dying. I couldn’t get it restarted. The plugs are black.......
At this point I think the reluctor is out of synch. Maybe you guys will see something I don’t. I’m not very experienced when things go wrong. I usually put the distributor in and it runs fine. Never had a problem like this.
Could it be off a tooth in the gear. We talked about that and decided that the problem would just follow but now that there’s documentation maybe......
