i got it to backfire through the carb so im thinking I have the dist. timing off. i fouled the plugs so i will be cleaning those up today. can a weak coil cause the backfiring ?
No, I never pulled the pump yet. I had the timing chain cover off and lined evrything up. But never once thought about the oil pump. Weather is going to be nice tomorrow so I will pull it and advance it a tooth and see what happens. Thanks for the info and I will let you know what it does
I have the book and the books all say 7 oclock is #1 at TDC. Well im at TDC and the rotor is pointing straight down. I already made sure the timing gears are lined up and I had the head off to make sure nothing was stuck. When I flip the dist. 180 degrees it points to noon. Can I move the #1 plug to the terminal at 6 oclock on the dist. and run the firing order clockwise from there ?
Hey here is my new issue. I have a 53 Hydrive Cranbrook that I cant get started. I have the motor at TDC and thr rotor button isnt pointing to 7 oclock, it is at 6 and 12 oclock which would be 180 out. how do I get it lined up to drop in at 7 oclock on the distributor ? Any help would GREATLY be appreciated !
