Ok did all that . No i am not getting fire to my coil . She has old brittle wiring . Thank every one for their help.
Fire to,or out of?No voltage to it could be simply the ballast resistor,no spark
out could be anything including that.But there are threads about checking that in this and the
elec. forum on this site.
The pump gear is entirely irrelevent,other than it is driven by the same cam
gear.I know I'm now the umpteenth to give you install timing advice,but I'll give it anyway.
1)find #1 compression by pressure method,best done w/ a compression test hose w/o
the gauge, or the watch the valves method. With the valve cover off,the valves will cycle
exh./int.,after the intake closes the next tdc will be the comp. one-simple enuff?
2)set the timing marks at the initial timing you want,lets say 7deg. Look at the dist.
post for #1, follow it to the dist body and mark the body,then put the cap aside.
3)the dist shaft will turn as you drop it home when the gears engage,I honestly forget
which direction,but it doesn't matter as you will see on a test drop.Simply fudge the rotor
the opposite direction so it turns towards your mark as you drop it in.Once seated look at
the reluctor wheel tooth closest to the pick-up core bar,you should be able to swing the
dist. to move the pick-up to either side of the tooth.
4)once you're there,turn the dist clockwise of the tooth,then bring it back to just past
(a tick counter-clockwise)of the tooth and lock 'er down.
5)I have initial timed just about every new eng. build I've ever done like this and never
have been more than 3-4deg off. Excessive cranking being the death of new cams, I've
used this and primed full carbs to ensure immediate starts.....every time.
Hope this helps and good luck!!:coffee2:
