1. [Spridgets] engine timing (score: 1): Author: Joe Lansing <kidjoevid@yahoo.com>; Date: Sun, 8 Jul 2007 05:30:52 -0700 (PDT); One year ago this weekend I put my '62 in the garage and started an upgrade. I'm now to the point I can try starting the rebuilt 1275 I put in it. I'll apologize in advance for the many stupid questi; /html/spridgets/2007-07/msg00260.html (8,813 bytes)

Re: [Spridgets] engine timing (score: 1): Author: Robert Weeks <lists@woozy.com>; Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2007 09:30:05 -0400; I'm pretty sure that clockwise starting with the #1 terminal the order of the wires on the dizzy should be 1-2-4-3. The order you have below is correct if that is counter-clockwise. Robert _________; /html/spridgets/2007-07/msg00264.html (8,313 bytes)

The tach spins counterclockwise, though, and 1-3-4-2 is correct in the CCW direction as you turn the engine.

Is the block properly grounded via ground strap? Maybe a derfism but seems like a logical first step considering info provided. _______________________________; /html/spridgets/2007-07/msg00269.html (8,154 bytes)

I made sure #1 was TDC by checking timing mark on pulley was at center mark on timing chain cover, peering in #1 and #4 sparkplug holes, and pulling valve cover to see; /html/spridgets/2007-07/msg00272.html (9,923 bytes)

But, because the cam turns 1/2 turn for every crank turn, lining up the mark can give you either 4 or 1 ready to fire. If the #1 valves aren't both closed, then you have; /html/spridgets/2007-07/msg00273.html (8,383 bytes)

You want no1 valves both closed so rockers will be a little loose. No4 exhau; /html/spridgets/2007-07/msg00276.html (10,393 bytes)
