I'm assuming that you do not have a regular floor shifter for astethic reasons? In the past I did as Rocky above did only I welded a piece of...
The last resistor wire I had to replace was replaced with one from NAPA. They will have a part number for the correct OHM'age resistor to mount...
Try examining your distributor cap. You do not say you replaced it so you may have some arcing or carbon tracking in the cap. The spark will...
To say it a bit differently, when the current flows through the primary of the coil (points closed) it builds a magnetic field around it. When...
By the looks of the tool holder it looks european. The size is a bit big for a watch makers lathe. Look around this site...
Do you have an old spark plug and wire? If so take the wire and strip it back a bunch and wrap the conductor around the threaded part of the...

What you say in the part I quoted is correct, The rest is also correct but pertains to setting the distributor. Go back and read the part of the...
I have to disagree your one statement "THE COMPRESSION STROKE". The relationship of the timing mark and TDC of the piston has nothing to do with...
Don I cry foul... Hash this out on the public forum so that we can all learn something here, Please. lg no neat sig line
Outside of a hipo race type rig or a stationary constant speed engine I would not reccomend eliminating the vacuum advance on the engine. The...
If Pugs idea of looking at the timing doesn't prove the cam has jumped then try the compression. You will not have good cranking compression if...
You are seeing gas squirt from the accelerator pump shot, that is good. Have you confirmed that it is gas and not water? We had a Jeep come into...
Giving a complete running 409/425hp engine away figuring I would never use it. Complete with cast iron headers, carbs to pan, water pump to...
Two ways 1. run the rig till it starts to miss/fail then attach a wire from the battery to the ing resistor. You can jump to the coil also but...
