so i had a hell of a time adjusting time last night. i finally got it to start i got the wife to keep it running i checked time and it was dead on. i told her to let off the gas it died. finally i got my D&^%^ feeler gauge out and guess what was wrong.
yea so i reread the chapter in the idiot book and here are the steps: 1. Adjust valves 2. check plug gaps <<???? i've never done that one before 3. check plug wires4. CHECK POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!! <<<<<<<CRAP!!! guess i should of reread the chapter after all the damn problems
5. adjust timming.so tonight i check the gap on the plugs re check the plug wires adjust the points that have a gap thicker than cardboard then adjust timming. and then i should be on my way.
it's like i forgot everything ya'll taught me last night. sorry to let ya'll down.

You should be getting ABOUT 28 degrees of advance with your centrif distributor. 5 degrees BTDC at static should give you approx 33 degrees at full advance. But you don't know if your distributor is giving you correct advance without checking it with a timing light.Brian Denning <i_am_cool_fred@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: ok the book says 5 degrees before tdc for my particular dizzy. i set it roughly at 5 degrees. i have very little power for hills etc. i just ran the valves at .006 and i set the timing. the exhaust seems to be really friggin'hot to. so i adjusted the timing a little bit more the exhaust seems to be cooler, it seems to fire up quicker and idle smoother and a bit quicker. i have yet to take it out and acutally test the bus to see if it runs any better.my question is what in the H-E DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS should the timing be seton? and i know someone asked me if i was running a degree pulley when i was having that bit of an oil leak recently. what is wrong with a degree pulley and is it ok to run one of those so i can be more exact with my timing adjustments? _________________________________________________________________ With tax season right around the corner, make sure to follow these few simple tips. http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/Taxes/PreparationTips/PreparationTips.aspx?icid=HMFebtagline
