well. did a compression check on the passenger side cylinders and No.1, 180 - 190 average for each, i then jus spun the motor over and looked at the rockers and all of them had full range of motion.
Next, i moved the timing, which doesnt make sense cuz i had it set just fine and hadnt moved it at all since, but im running out of other things to try., advanced the timing some more and it started and ran with no backfires. what the hell? the timing at 1800rpms is about 38* advanced right now. that cant be right.
so now im guessing i might be a tooth off on the distrib.
im gonna pull it out and set it back in with about 8* advance to start and see what happens.
Question, when you guys are setting a distrib, where do YOU position No.1 ?
