so I need to move the dist. while trying to start it?

ok don I didnt do like you said but I got #1 piston on top compression stroke and checked the rotor it is at #1 or about 700 o clock position but couldnt find the timing mark on the damper crank ..... What confuses me is the truck was running before and I didnt move the Dist.

ok thanks for the help will try that tomorrow will let all know what I find

oh and the spark it seems good at the plugs

thanks its a king seely govener right below the carb yes gas down the carb and still no go Idid not take the dist out it does not have vacum,just the points hook up and condenser hook up that post and the insulator looked good (where it goes through the Dist.) I guess I;ll check the timing tomorrow, what is the easiest way to do this? thanks for the responses

thanks 59 Im pretty sure the plug wires are ok I did them one at a time. the carb is getting fuel new fuel pump I see it squirting down the throat tried starting fluid and pouring gas in the carb still a no go it has a govener under the carb could that be bad ?

yes it ran I have replaced the fuel tank new fuel line I checked I do have spark at the plug just wont start

yes

ok problem new points new condenser new rotor new cap wires,plugs, and wont start. Could the govener below the carb be bad ? its a 1950 1 1/2 ton truck dodge b2

Ok thanks

Is this marvel mystery lube like sold in quart s I mean is it oil

Ok thanks will get some marvel mystery oil and try that been working out of town haven't had a chance to work on it but will let you know what I find thanks

Thanks for the information I will keep my eyes open for one. Was wondering if another model # would fit like (IAp or IAT or would it be better to stay with the IAY .....Many thanks for the Info

ooh ok thank you

ok I am new to this what does p15 d24 stand for?

hello does anyone know where to get a rebuilt Autolite Dist. #IAY 4001-1 or know of one that replaces it? seems like parts are hard to find for the IAY 4001-1 many thanks Jerry

ok thanks

ok thanks messed with it a little set the points to 0.18 set the plugs to 0.20 and I finally got a little spark at the plugs she almost started poured a little gas down the carb and she wanted to start maybe I need to rebuild the carb? thanks

will let you know what I find have to order the cap

ok many thanks

ya I looked at the old cap and its pretty dirty inside also that center button (for the coil) is loose in there floppin around is that normal? or should that spring underneath it suppose to hold it down?

thanks for the help will check the wire and test with a ohm meter if it helps my distributor is a autolite IAY4001-1. Also I dont think it is the timing or firing order out of wack because when I bought it it was running and All that I have done is brought it home and it sat for a couple of yrs till I could put a new gas tank on it. So after the new tank tried to start and nothing so... is it possible that the p.owner maybe put the wrong points in it just to get it to run long enough (maybe 5 min.) to show it runs at the Auction ? (still confused but am not giving up I ordered everything from DCM Classics and hope this will fix it. Maybe just put a New Dist. in it? does anyone know where to get one? thanks again

ok thanks

ok thanks I guess I should put all new points plugs,wires,condenser,cap,rotor,have spark from the coil so Im guessing its good weird how after I cleaned the points now no spark to the plugs thanks (still confused)

havent checked the compression on the cylinders was running cleaned the points now no spark at the plug
