Your right but the truck should still start.

When i put the new motor in my truck i had the same promblem i had the gear that runs the dis one tooth off. So lose the dis up and have some one try to start it as you turn it. By the way if it was one tooth off it about 90' turn on the dis

 

Wtf is the fuel sync?

The dizzy is loose. We are able to turn it. However it only goes in that slot basically one way. So when we turned it 180 it was definitely wrong. It has to be right now.

 

The pickup plate in the distributor should have cylinder 1 marked on it. With the engine at top dead center, the rotor should point at the mark. If it does, it is in time enough to start. It would then need to be put "in sync" with a scan tool.

 

where does one find a scan tool that does this?

 

Snap On works, and so does my OTC Genisys. You have to know someone who has one or take it to a shop that has one. Also, I hope you are finding TDC and doing what Tizzy1 suggested, just because the distributor goes into a slot does not mean the gear is lined up correctly. The rotor has to be pointing to #1 when that cylinder is on the compression stroke.

 

dbl. post

Everyone here is great, but damn this site needs work.I love waiting 5 minutes after I hit submit reply for it to post. LOL

 

Does anybody else get like 5 emails for 1 reply? lol


I spoke to my garage that does my inspection. He said even if the sync is off it should still start. He thinks my timing is retarded too much. I will have to mess around with it on weds I guess.

 

sorry to bump, but ever find out the problem?

 

You need to turn off the notifications.

Even if your timing was retarded it will start. Advanced it wouldnt start.
