Hands on Help with Timing.

Post by Zuel »

Hello. I have the body off and the engine in, but I am having issue with properly setting timming. I live in St Charles, IL. 60174. and was wondering if a member lived near enough to stop in and give me a bit of face to face guildance. (Yes the beverages would be cold! Ha Ha!) Thank You. Dana.

Hey Dana,

Being in Toronto, sorry that I can't help you out but if you could take a couple of pictures of your setup to run the engine without the body on it would be greatly appreciated!

Is there a specific part of the timing process you are having trouble with? IE getting # 1 TDC on compression stroke, indexing oil pump, wire arrangement in cap, or just the actual adjustment of the distributor?

I will post up some images of how it sits in the next day or so to help show it's statis. As soon as they are posted, I will get back to you. Thank you. Dana.

Photos help but I would still need to know where specifically your interests or needs are per the examples I listed above.
