Well I checked the booster, it's toast. I tried pumping the pedal at engine
idle to see if the rpms increased, nada (thanks John). I pulled the hose to
the booster off and took a spin, no difference from when it was on. Man I
never realized how important the booster was. So I guess I will replace the
booster and redo the flex hoses and that should do it.
A have another (perhaps dumb) question. On the 73, I an getting ready
to refit the engine. I have the transmission off. I am assuming the #1
piston is the piston CLOSEST to the flywheel. I THINK that to set the
static timing of the dizzy I should set the index mark at 12 deg. BTC on the
compression stroke of #1. Then that the dizzy rotor should be pointed at #1
wire. Am I way off here? Which piston is #1, how should I set the static
timing? Bently isn't very clear.
Thanks again,
Graham Spencer
