Hovercrafter

to Crazyeights Good call. Engine sits in the engine bay opposite of auto engine compartment, front is back-back is front. After looking in repair manuals for firing order finally got plug wires in proper order. Problem seems to be in wiring of distributor. My coil might be wrong type, it requires a ballast resistor. Not real sure if right coil for distributor. I replaced ea82 with ej22, more HP. My old ea82 did not have a ballast resistor. I think this might be part of the problem, getting distributor wired with ballast resistor. To add to my problems I live in remote Alaska. Only 700 people here with no auto mechanic or parts supply local. 300 miles to nearest town, by airplane or boat, not interstate highway.

Good day to all. I have a home built 20' hover craft with EJ22 for power.. I am having trouble to get it running. It has been converted to Weber 34/34 carb with the mid 80's distributor from a Ford Escort. No ECU or fuel injection. I have got the engine to pop a few times but will not run. Seems as if distributor might be off. The key way on the end of right-side cam has only one place for distributor key way to fit. Is there something I am missing ?? Thanks in advance for any and all help. Hovercrafter
