TM9-8015-1 Clarification

I have an engine with an oil pump that was installed 180 out by the previous owner during rebuild. Finally getting around to correcting this problem. On page 117, step g. of the manual, it states to coat the threads of the cap screws with plastic type sealant. What type of sealant are they ...

This is what I would do if it was me. Remove the #1 spark plug and put a compression tester in that hole. Take the distributor cap off and rotate the engine by hand until you see compression on the #1 cylinder. Look at your rotor and it should be pointing at your #1 cylinder and than verify your ...

Is the distributor rotor spinning when the engine is cranking? All connections clean and tight inside the distributor? Have you performed the ohms check on the coil yet?

The other thing that will prevent you from getting spark is the ignition switch

If it ran before you parked it, use a piece of sandpaper and clean the contacts on the breaker points and than check again for spark.

You realize that those NOS coils are 30-40 years old and do degrade over time. You might get lucky and get a good one and it may last 1- 5 yrs or a week. The good thing about Debella is he will stand by the products he sells. Also NOS coil prices are stupid, just like the spark plugs.

M170 versus M38A1 Wiring

Has anyone ever modified a M170 harness to work in an A1? I assume the M170 harness has some longer runs for the rear lights and additional wiring for the emergency light reel. I've already looked over the manuals and it looks like it can be done but I figured I'd ask to be sure. I have not searched ...
