Bro Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Hi all, Because of a dodgy compressor install on the dissy my mate removed the distributor to remove the compressor, replaced it, and now we can't get the thing running again. We obviously rooted the timing... What do we do ??? 81 Wagon EA81 Engine / Carb Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Remove the disty, remove the #1 sparkplug, put your finger in the hole then turn the engine by hand. When you feel the air being pushed out of the cylinder then you have it at TDC. Line up the rotor just to the right of the plug wire on the disty cap and when you set it in it should be lined up.
