Yesterday when I put the motor in I killed the Distributeur.
You can see it in the above image. I went out and bought a new one to replace it, but I was unsure of how to put it back in. Because the engine has been setting out side for a while I went ahead and pulled all the spark plugs and turned it over a few times to remove any water that might have got in there and make sure it wasn't frozen.
I had my wife hold her very small thumb over the number 1 cylinder, but she couldn't tell if she could compression or not.
Question: Are these the timing scale marks? I can see numbers on it and I have that mark on the zero mark. The Numbers in the pic starting at the top and going down are 12,8,4,and 0
So all I need to do now is put the distributeur back in and line the cap up with the number one wire?
I had the cap off when I installed the motor so, all the wires should be in the right spots.
I just want to get this thing running. I can always take it to someone to adjust the timing later if I can get it close. I just want to know if this will get it close.
