Trev Posted May 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well lastnight i said to myself 'I'm getting the van running tomorrow' so i took the 4ac points dizzy and one of my 4age dizzy's and swapped the gears over so that the 4ac dizzy would fit so i can start it, This is only a temp solution until i buy a 4ac electronic dizzy, I didnt worry about indexing it as its just sitting in there, After a few hours of playing around this arvo and getting it to spark good it finally fired and ran for 10 secs, I would of liked it to run longer but its a bit hard with no throttle linkage hooked up and a K motor fuel pump being used by hand to fill the carbs, I will try to get a vid of it running tomorrow.

beerhead Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 Nice work trev. You could always drill a hole in the floor for the pump and go flinstone style :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev Posted May 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 A bit of playing around today and the best i could get was a 2 second run, Slim (4ages) was over to help so it was him on dizzy, Me on fuel & carbs and the missus on key, It seems as tho the points dizzy just doesnt put out enough power to ignite the compressed fuel and air mixture, I have a vid of some good flamage: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerhead Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 were those flames out the inlet? Looks like you need to get your base timing right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah exhaust, Base timing is fine, I just loaded too much fuel into itnd retarded the timing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev Posted May 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 (edited) Decided to get rid of the points dizzy and go with the 4age dizzy/coil setup and use the ignition control module out of an ae82 electronic dizzy, I don't have advance but who gives a shit, I might buy a controller at a later date, The spark i have now is way greater than the points dizzy even with a shitty earth to the engine and ignition system, Here are some pics of the setup and a short vid of the spark: Edited May 26, 2008 by Trev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev Posted May 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 (edited) Well as promised, Here is a vid of the car running, It ran alot longer than the video shows but the backfire was quite loud so i decided to shut it down, I will run it on saturday and try to time it properly: I also took the coil and ignition module to work and situated it where the ignitor normally sits and make the wiring pretty: Edited May 27, 2008 by Trev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
