Not quite Zig. With the pointer pointing at the ball the points need to just be opening, not at 0.016. RTFM under the "engine not running"...
Wrong idea Zig. That 16 to 20 is 0.016" to 0.020" with a feeler gauge, and hopefully verified with a dwell meter. My manual calls for 0.016" and...
By October 57 they were already selling 58 model cars and trucks.
These old distributors don't move the internal plate, it moves the whole distributor. I'm pretty sure I had Paul remove the vacuum advance tube...
That's the plan.
Mine said the same. Once I had everything else sorted I adjusted the octane selector to about half way from 0 to A and the vacuum went up to 18...
Get a plastic "T" (available at FLAPS) and a foot of rubber fuel line to plumb your newly found fuel pressure gauge into the fuel line. When you...
Around here we say Holy Mole' and order another Margarita.
At the spark plugs: #1 is at the radiator end of the engine. #2 is next to #1 #3 is next to #2 and just forward of the coil. #4 is just to the...
Here is what I use, on sale today for $12.99 http://www.harborfreight.com/fuel-pump-and-vacuum-tester-93547.html Book calls for 4 to 5.5 PSI...
# 1 IS at the radiator, but #4 is NOT at the firewall. #6 is at the firewall.
It is good that the problem is occurring in neutral. Makes troubleshooting easier. Another thought, If you have access to a fuel pressure...
Check my post in the other thread Paul. No way the engine will run with the distributor 180 degrees out. All plugs would be firing on the end...
Paul: Does the miss start occurring at about the same engine speed in neutral as it does under load while driving? If yes, it is more...
Mine typically ran about 1/2 full. Never all the way full. My fuel pump quit working just after buying my truck. Replaced it with a new NAPA...
It's an evaporative cooler, also known as a swamp cooler. Only works well in low humidity environments.
I agree with Paul. It'll have a gearset inside to correct speedometer error.
Not getting enough gas Paul. Pull the line at the input to the fuel pump. Assuming that the truck is parked fairly level, Nate says (and I...
If only it were that easy Evan. The crankshaft pulley on my 228 drives a belt that Drives the water pump and the outer sheave of the double...
DON'T use an ohmmeter in a powered circuit, i.e. DON'T measure ohms with the key on. Probably won't hurt the truck, but may let the magic smoke...
Separate names with a comma.
