need a lil help getting this thing started, and seems like the guys on motorgeek and my local forum are busy. http://www.motorgeek.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=34988&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

so...

things i need answered before i go at it tomorrow please

1) the cylinders are ordered from front to back correct?

2) at tdc, the dizzy rotor should be on cyl #1 correct?

3) the rotor then turns clockwise to hit terminals # 2,4,5,3,1,2,4,5,3..... and so on?

4) when at dtc the #1 cylinder should be at the highest point correct? (closest to the front)

5) in what position is the dot on the inside of the camgear?
A) in line with the drivers side of the corner on the vc as it says in **
B) in line with the arrow on the rounded portion of the vc like others have said. (issue with this is that the front most cyl#1 is not at the top of it's rotation here which doesn't make sense)

** "Now, double check that the Camshaft timing is also correct, there is a dot or line mark which is on the back of the cam gear, this dot or line mark should be lined up with the drivers side (US Vehicles) edge of the cylinder head valve cover gasket surface. "

i believe if these are answered in the morning i can eliminate the timing issue and have the car running... or at least eliminate that it's the timing.


reference to this.

I ended up lining it up with the flywheel (couldn't see the crank pulley mark) and pointed the distributor wheel towards the front of the car and then made sure that was #1 then put the plug wires on one by one clockwise and then changed all my spark plugs (changed about 5k ago) just to be sure it wasn't a plug.

and it all worked.

IT IS ALIVE!

thank you very very much my2000apb for the help and everyone else for putting up with my thousand questions. the sjm link helped a lot too... I must of been confusing the 10v and 20v line up procedures.


it sputtered a lil and was a lil noisy from the lack of running over the past week but it quieted down and runs good. and no dizzy rattle!

took it for a spin and low n behold... it still goes into limp mode upon full throttle sometimes. (cel will come on then go off the second i get off it)

changed the oil and cleaned it up a lil.
