Merry Christmas, all.
I have just reinstalled a dizzy that I took the optical trigger off of
(Crane X-700 retrofit on 79B) before I sent it off to be evaluated. Stupid
me did not mark the alignment of where the optical trigger went (there is a
sliding adjustment slot for alignment) to before I took it off and now the
car won't start-especially after I've also twisted the dizzy around to
adjust the timing. The timing must be off a bunch because the timing light
flashes irratically or not at all. I've tried turning to TDC on #1 plug and
aligning the rotor to #1 plug and then the pickup to a gap in the shutter,
but car still will not start, or if it does will not run long. According
to the Cranecams.com site, improper distributor phasing is the most likely
cause, but it says to check this you have to drill a hole in your dist. cap
and then buy a new one. Is there any other way to do this? Any suggestions
on how to get back to ground zero?
