ParadiseMJ Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 OK, so my dizzy was chirping and howling, figured I'd just replace it. It was not causing any running or driveability isssues, just the noise. Here's what I did. Removed old dist. Rotated engine to TDC compression (with help from wife). Double checked TDC (you know, it's my wife). Set rotor at 4 o'clock. Set oil pump slot at 11 o'clock. Slid dist in. It turned, engaged and seated, now the rotor is at about 5 o'clock. Put bolt and mounting hardware all back together. Done Replaced cap (and I know the firing order is 1-5-3-6-2-4)and replaced wires. Fired it up, and it roared to life. The only diffference is that at idle and upon acceleration, first 1000 rpm's it's rough, not sputttering, just rough. After that it's fine. What am I missing?? Is there an adjustment...and how could I be one tooth off if everything was put back the same way. :huh???: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffN Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 advance it one tooth and try it, sounds like it's a tooth off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParadiseMJ Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 I was sure that I nailed the install (the fourth time) but, :doh: I switched #2 and #4 plug wires. Runs great now. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
