Reinstalling A Dizzy

[camerondownunder88]

Hi,

OK I have the manual for the 5K-E and the 7K-E BUT it has in there how to install a points dizzy only...go figure..

 

So done some research and the install from step one to 9 of 10 is the same till last one really.

 

First you set the motor to TDC on compression stroke of the 1st cylinder. Then you get a screw driver then align the pump shaft with the dot punched into the block. Then you slide the dizzy in with the rotor pointing to the 3rd spark plug. It should then turn and face the center of the 2nd spark plug.

 

After that step it says align the signal rotor tooth with the signal generator projection then tighten the dizzy bolt in that spot. Ok easy enough BUT where is the signal generator projection??? Below is a pic of a 5K-J dizzy I have and it marked and a pic of the exploded view of my dizzy adn you will notice top right corner the dizzy 2 black covers are marked dust covers adn come off?

 

 

Below is the exploded view...

 

 

So I am wondering with the signal generator can I remove the black plastic cover that has stamped "don't remove" to view the signal generator or will removing this cover break the dizzy?

 

Cheers

Why not just set the motor to TDC on #1 and put the rotor button on and put it just before where it would contact on #1 on the cap and drop it in?

I told him to do that when i was there yesterday as that is how i have always done it, This other way sounds like a pain in the ass.

Pretty much I did what Trev said and Medicine Man But I found to align the rotor with the electric sensor with out removing the black cover you can JUST see the sensor sticking out and I was able to align it so about to start car in a few mins so fingers crossed it works.

 

But I also got the feeler gauges out and cheeked the gap and it is perfect so all should be good.

if you wanna get really serious, dummy the dizzy up as medicine man said, take the coil lead out of the cap, turn the ignition on, grab your test light and wedge it on the neg side of the coil, and earth then wiggle the engine back and forth till the test light goes off. when it does check where the timing marks are and you've just set static timing.
