Just in case anyone came here to actually learn something.

Apparently, no you do not "have" to degree a new cam..  :thumb:

By the way, the more rockers you put on, the harder it will be to turn over, so you might want to get a helper for that step   :lmao:

ok bitch, try to follow these simple instructions.

1. connect your fuel pump line . but i guess you figured that out on your own yesterday .  :lmao:

2. put number 1 on tdc fire position.

3. install distributor so the rotor points at the post you want to use for number 1 cylinder.

4. connect the coil and distributor wires.

5. install a SPARK plug in number 1 cyl and connect that plug wire.

6. connect a timing lite . if it is adjustable, make sure the know says ZERO.

7. have someone turn the engine over as you set the timing to exactly 12 degrees before top dead center . in your case this will be 12 degrees to the right of the black felt pen mark on your damper as you face the engine.

if no one can help you, then use a short screwdriver to connect the big post on the FRONT of the solenoid to the tiny post right next to it.

8. tighten distributor.

9. install remaining plugs and wires and check the wire routing THREE times.

10. your engine WILL instantly fire up when you turn the key.

Have faith brother  :bow:


No chance of firing it up today, battery was overnight 3 days ago so that's here "tomorrow" and i have to make brackets etc for the rad which will take a couple of hours.


Also i'm going to have to "pro" mod the side of the distributor slightly because the water temp sensor hits it..

And some other stuff...
