Im looking to get a new distributor now and all of the ones I find have one single plug coming out that connects to the cap. The one I have now has the same and an additional plug that plugs into the firewall. Do I need to get an exact replacement? Would the distributors with only the single...
So I charged the battery and i'm getting the same weak orange spark. I'm just going to get a new distributor since this one looks old anyway. I'm starting to think that I might have the wrong balancer on this truck or maybe the rubber spun. After watching several other videos of people setting...
How can I tell if im 180 out? Im cranking it by hand and watch the #1 exhaust valve open and close and then the intake valve open and close and keep turning until im on 0. Then drop the distributor so the rotor is on the #1. Both #1 valves are closed at this time
Is this not correct?
I got them off craigslist. The guy had a few pairs. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-226018
Dont have the other links right now. Ill try and post them later
I didnt find this to be true. I first adjusted them with the intake off and they were maybe half way compressed. Wont be able to get back to it until Wednesday. I'll charge my battery and see what happens
So it has spark. The plugs smell like gas so I think theyre getting gas. When I turn the engine I feel compression from the spark plug holes so im lost on why it wont start
What I did was loosen all rockers and adjusted all over again as I did before. The intake is on and im trying to avoid having to take it off and get another gasket.
Checked spark with plug to frame while cranking and it has a light orange spark. Thinking battery really low from trying to start. Now I definitely dont know why it wont start.
not sure why thats quite a jump. why else would the rocker get so loose when the pushrod is straight? all of the other valves are fine. maybe a bad lifter? I will verify spark but dont see how it matters at this point when I know there is a problem with the #8 and wouldnt run it like this anyway
