Had to pull the distro, and now having trouble. The engine fired, fast idle, when I punched the throttle to drop from fast idle, it died, and now will not start. No spark at plugs.
So I am back checking everything. Either I am slightly off, or fried the Ignition Module.
Problem is that the timing marks are not what are shown in Chilterns/Haynes/Blue Book. There is no ladder/scale.
What I have is this:
The 'bullseye' is on the bottom, slot on the pulley in the middle, and pointer on the top. I seem to recall reading that at one time the ladder was a decal, so obviously long gone, and that the 'bullseye' was to hold a drift in the slot to lock the pulley. Or am I spacing? Is the notch the TDC mark for the pointer?
Any clues before I repull the air intake to recheck the distro.
Hoping it is not a ICM.
