if you have trouble from there let us know. that should get you in the right area.

and yes you point the light at your H balancer after you get everything running.

ok i did every thing but once i have set the dist and i move it back to 10A reference point the rotor button is off compared to the # plug wire...is this corredt or do i not move it off the 0A point???LOST!!@!!

FivePointOhh

you need to have the rotor point directly to the #1 plug wire on the cap. if not you're "one tooth off" maybe more

once you believe you are at TDC make sure your balancer is pointed at 0*

strap everything down, unplug your spout and fire it up



thats when you time it.

ok so set TDC and make sure O* is on Harmonic then bolt dist at 0*? and pul spout and crank ??

well said ^^^^ ....hope you get your "timing" back!

FivePointOhh

make sure your rotor is pointed at the #1 plug on the cap. clamp the cap down, bolt down the dizzy stil pointed at the #1 plug(or hold in place if a friend cranks it for you)


then yes proceed to unplug spount and fire it up. time it and you should be GTG.

Thanx for all the help..So i put the HAR on 0* on comp stroke...i put the dist matching the line on base w/ edge of casting--0*--made sure my rotor was pointing at #1 plug...bolted it all and clamped cap, pulled spount and tried to crank but nothing...i believe yall have told me everything there is to know..thats what i got from it...where did i go wrong??

FivePointOhh

does it crank with no fire? does it try to fire? all the plugs are going to the right cylinders correct and you have the coil hooked up?

charlie112701

it acts like it has no fire but pulled plugs it does..when it turns over its like real fast and doesnt even try...every once in a while if i give it some gas when i let off of it, it sounds like it hits like once maybe twice but never starts...plugs goin right and coil hooked up...
