Vince. Someone on this list helped me with the same problem.
What you do is take a cylinder, say the left cylinder (2??) this
cylinder fires from the outermost plugwire from the distributor
so make sure the piston is at TDC of its compression stroke
(right about the time the spark plug should fire) and put the
distributor in so that the tip of the rotor is just about to
cross the contact for that plug wire.
Makes sense when you think about it. You might have to pull the
distributor loose and move it one notch forward or backwards but
you should be close.

| Got all my new parts together and am getting ready to rebuild the distributor. Can someone on the list tell me how to make sure I align it up properly when I reinstall the unit. Seems that if I'm off by a few degrees the timing will be all messed up. I know that trial and error will help , but I thought there might be an easy way to get it right first time. Vince in NY BTW are there any NYC GUZZISTI out there who might be interested in getting together some Sunday morning for a ride? |
