ian_ae82_white_rolla =D Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Des Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Doubt it. You need a timing light to set the ignition timing again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_ae82_white_rolla =D Posted March 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 ok thx mate, ill try get 1 this week end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tas_ae71 Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medicine_Man Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 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..
