CA ignition timing cas adjustment help!

Hey dudes so... from my last post

I need to adjust the cas but how when the car won't start.

I guess its just about adjusting and seeing if it fires up.

Does anyone have any GGOOD understandable ways of adjusting the cas? Pictures writing WHATEVER as long as its prretty easy

Oh and also what's this about I hear about priming the fuel system? How do I do that?

Get back at me. Let's put one more 7 back on the road! And if anyone can come help me at home thatt would be cool too

Thanks peeps

on your main pully there is a yellow and a red strip...
set the little pin on the front cover in between those two lines...

pull out the cas and there will be 3 holes on the spinny thingy... make sure to align the indented hole wiht the markign on the cas. NOT THE SEE THRU hole.

and try and start it ... .. theres directions in the fsm and the hynes manual... except they say line the yellow mark to the pin instead.

Read the FSM

Read the first jpg below.

The second jpg shows the top cover off and the guts. Your CAS internals should look similar to what you see in this second jpg when the matching marks on the bottom of the CAS are aligned and when the CAS is finally installed. IF yours looks like this, then the timing should be well within 5* or what will be seen when using the timing light in step G of the instructions.

Looking into the top of the CAS you'll see two top teeth that revolve. When the matching marks on the bottom of the CAS body are aligned, then these two top teeth will cut across the corner of the two black in color reluctors. See second jpg and the two top teeth.
