No Spark from new TFI.. What next?
#11
gotcha.. Could be priming.. Newb question and I promise I'll figure out the rest on my own lol.. : I pulled the dist in a hurry to get the Ign Module off. I have read on how to restab the dist to get close timing. what is the simplest way to get the motor to TDC?? Bumping the ignition? Or doing push ups on a large socket on the crankshaft? I am doing all this solo too.. Any advice would be appreciated..
Remove #1 spark plug (first plug, passenger front side)
stick a screw driver in the spark plug hole
crank by hand until piston hits the screw driver
reverse crank (VERY LITTLE) enough to remove the screw driver
insert distributor and point rotor to #1 position on distributor cap
and then give a stab and crank it.

[QUOTE=javila2468;8057842]You should have marked where the rotor was pointing to before removing it.
I know, hindsight is a cruel ****#
I marked the outside where 1 is but lost train of thought when trying to remove that Ignition Module.
So turn it with a socket is your method of choice?

If I am not mistaken, This advice directly conflicts with your advice Javila.. It is saying the beginning of the compression stroke is TDC, and what you are telling me is the end of the first compression stroke. If I am not mistaken.

compression stroke begins when the piston starts going up and ends at tdc.
either option works fine...i just wouldn't crank the motor. i would just turn it with a breaker bar or rachet.
regarding the "turning the engine counter-clockwise" that is a first for me. you learn something new every day.
