need help.car bogs when set to perfect timing.when set i tooth off on dizzy it runs better but bad idle.plus i can not set timing on it then yellew mark is about a inch and a half from pin on hub.1982 gsl engine tranplant 12a.starts and drives now but no timing.

 

Sounds like you need to re-stab your dizzy.
Rotate engine (19mm socket on front hub) until timing pin lines up with yellow mark on pulley, remove dizzy, line up mark on shaft with mark on gear, re-stab dizzy, check timing at 750 rpm.

 

Make sure everything is hooked up correctly. There should be markings on the cap (T1, T2, L1, L2) and there will be markings on the motor as well (front rotor is 1, rear is 2. Bottom is leading, Top is trailing).

Leading ignition is adjusted by rotating the entire distributor.

Trailing is adjusted by sliding one of the vacuum pots in/out.

Good luck....

kentetsu i think i need help with re stabing my dizzy when it gets warmer then 50 degrees in the beginning of febuary, sometime drive it over to your place and get that adjusted or meet me at the shop...cause i think thats part of my problem also....and on a sidenote brett made me a block off plate....hahaha finally so we should be good there

 

also just saying check spark plugs and crap too....might be "part" of the problem....heh

 

Take of your cap and hold your rotor while you reinsert the dizzy. That will keep it from slipping a tooth. Check your flywheel and front pulley for correct tdc. Pulley could have been installed wrong.

 

No worries Kyle, we'll get you hooked up when you're ready.
