ay guys

Anyone want to know what I been doin the last 6 months? Well I pulled out my blown 260 motor and have now dropped in a 280 (stock). Lots of running around but its finnally in! yeay!

Guess what? She dont want to start. The motor wount crank fast enough it seems. Battery is good as I pulled it out of a running regular driving car.

So I thought starter's drawin too much current. Pulled out the old starter and put in another one from wreckers, . ... And ... same problem. It just dont turn.

After a couple of rotations it wount turn at all. Symtoms of a flat battery right! So I got another battery and ......same prob. Last resort is to jump it, havent tried yet

any ideas?

hey

that was fast

k

Engine was bought from wreckers with 3 month warranty. (exp now). I am trusting the source as I have been back many times andhe has been helpful. So I dont believe motor is seized, a dud,etc.

I am using the 260 distributor and have moved it from full advance to in the middle in hope of starting it. I havent tested the lights yet but fuel pump and gages go crazy when ignition on, so there is power enough......

what do do about a dodgy earth?

thanks again

I agree with Zkid earthing sounds the problem, where does your neg terminal connect to on this new motor and is there now paint or rust stopping a good ground. I would also be running a second cable from the block to the firewall or strut tops.

ay guys

after alot of fidling and one of the fattest earth wires around she starts!! very exciting!

Only running the extractors at the moment so bloodly loud!!!, sounds like a beast!

however not all joy... she doesnt want to rev any higher than 2ooo revs, missing pretty bad. It looses almost all revs at 2 and power with a bang/misfire and returns to ildle almost. She idles all right, little rough but dont want to rev.

It has an electornic distributor (came from broken 260 motor)havent played with timing much yet but is pretty much set in the middle.

any ideas? plugs? cap?

carbs :).

Check float levels, richness, lean condition. Vacumm leaks, hmmm check the plugs see if they have fouled up at all.

Hmmm could be distributor but very hard to tell from explanation. Once you had set your carbs correct. Then we will worry about that the distributor.
