March 26, 200818 yr comment_235511 yea i have a ae82 lift back, i took it 4 a road worthy and 1 of the parts that failed was an oil leak in the dizzy so i took it off 2 have a look and when i put it back on it just kept backfiring till the pressure was so bad it ripped my muffler open :D, I'm not sure if the dizzy is out of time with the valves or something... any suggestions thx Ian Report
March 27, 200818 yr Author comment_235651 yea thought, so i lined the notch on the crank pulley 2 the 0 mark and the i lined up the marks in the dizzy and it still didnt work so i tryed the crank pulley notch @ the 10 mark and it still didnt work :hmm:.... do u think maybe ive done some dmg inside the engine ? lol Report

March 29, 200818 yr comment_235965 will it run? also you did put the distributor in the right way? because the crank turns on a 2-1 ratio the distributor can easily be set 180 degrees out (i.e. firing the opposite cylinder o what it should) Report
March 29, 200818 yr comment_235977 Yeah, I'd be saying 180 degrees out too, take out plug #1, make sure the piston is coming up, Set it to TDC #1 and then look at your distributer setup again (Make sure you look which way the rotor spins too) set up your leads so they fire in the right order etc..
