Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....

Without removing valve cover: 1. Rotate engine until the timing tab and line on the balancer line up at zero degrees. 2. Identify the location you wish to use for #1, I reccomend the post immeditaley to the right (standing in the center of the grill looking at the dist.) of the vaccum advance can. See picture below. 3. Make a pencil mark on the dist. housing DIRECTLY under the post for #1 4. Remove cap and drop the Dist. into the hole with the rotor on. 5. While Lowering in the dist. the rotor should be pointed just further right than the mark, when lowering it, it will catch and move to the left towards the mark. 6. If it doesn't drop all the way to the intake rotate the motor until it does. 7. place the clamp on loosley, and look at the "point" on the star wheel on the shaft- towards the point on the stator - (circle around the point) Right now, the motor is either perfectly static timed for #1 or #6, because the dist. is driven off of the cam, which rotates once for ever 2 crank rotations, it may be timed for TDC (Top Dead Center #6) So if no run - pull the cap, point it at #1 in the dist. again, then Rotate the motor 1 Revolution, and pull dist. and re-install to the #1 position. Like I said - without pulling a plug and cranking it feeling for compression, it gives you a 50-50 chance. If you choose to pull a valve cover I can guarantee you will nail it on the first try ! 1: Pull Drivers side valve cover 2: Rotate motor Clockwise (as you face it) watching intake valve - when it opens and starts to close look at the timing mark -- 3: Line up the timing mark - as long as you hit it before the the exhaust valve opens - you are on TDC #1 Then follow same procedures from #2 above.Kind of long winded, but I hope it's helpful. |
