Sounds like it might be too much initial timing for the starter to turn over. Here is a very good article on setting the ignition. Hope this help you out. http://www.lbfun.com/warehouse/tech_info/timing%20&%20vacuum%20advance/How%20to%20Set%20Timing.pdf ----- Original Message ----- From: Jim & Chris To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2008 6:45 PM Subject: [Chevelle-list] DISC BRAKE CONVERSION PART II + ignition ?
Thanks to all that replied. problem was a bad connection that joined the 2 piece brake line running to the rear that was drawing in air. now fixed. I also Installed an MSD 6AL ignition and I have what may sound like a silly question ( I'm gettin a little punchie) long hrs. in garage. Q. If I spin the motor to 10 Deg.BTDC that will be on the compression stroke for me to set the rotor to #1 cylinder ? I'm having a hard time getting to kick over. thanks again, Jimmy .C
