Hi All,
We'll after three years I am finally able to try and start
my engine. It ran fine before I pulled it. While it was out, all I did
was replace gaskets, distributor cap, points, plugs, condenser coil and
wires. I did disassemble the carbs for inspection and cleaning. Bought
a new battery today and turned the key and the engine turned great but
didn't fire. I checked for spark coming from the coil, which was good.
I checked for spark from each plug, which was good. I checked the gap
from each plug as well as the dwell from the points all good but the
engine won't fire. I thought maybe a fuel problem, but eliminated that
when I squirted a little gas into each spark plug hole and nothing.
When I had the engine out, I did attempt to remove the distributor but
only was able to pull it about an inch or so, so I just slid it back
down. I was thinking the maybe the timing could be way off but when I
attempt to turn the distributor, I am only able to twist it maybe 1/32"
to 1/16", after loosening it of course. So now I'm baffled. Does
anyone have any suggestions?
Any help would be appreciated,
Steve Meyer
