To follow up, for mine pointing to #1 and adjustment screw centered, they equaled out at .015" on my feeler gauge.

My new remanufactured distributor is in need of adjustment according to Blue's rebuild. I don't have equal spacing between the reluctor and stator. Thanks @Blue Mine looks like this, And it should look like this, Another day, another problem. But I'm glad to get it right now instead of later and I need something easy to do and get off my back and feet, yesterday I was under the car all day. Today I have knots on my forehead! and transmission fluid in my ear.

Your avatar kills me! It looks like he's/she's waiting to pass another car.

I had to google.com that, so it's a little before my time. I don't remember any "comedy records" from my youth, we had a VCR as big as a microwave. I did like Peter Sellers in The Pink Panther though. I grew up in the 70s.

For me and my teenage buddies it was "Monty Python and the The Holy Grail". My Mom had a VHS tape of it. We spit our cookies and milk () out when he cut off the Black Night's arm. "tis but a scratch".

No such thing IMHO. Purple Rain had one too many Percocets though.

6 months old and weighs sixty pounds! 30 lbs is all heart. He's a sweet dog. Thanks Jai.

I'm a proud poppa! Any chance to show off my Buddy. 8^)

This is how it was when I pulled the motor. Does it look okay? I think it's at full advance but I never could wrap my head around electrical timing. It's the '79 zx with e12-80 module. @Zed Head @Captain Obvious

You are absolutely right. If I leave it open they'd fall out. Hell they'd have to learn to rappel to get in there.

Cheech & Chong ? Blind Mellow Jelly was from Sanford& Son.

Can mice read? 3 blind mice. They stayed in the bathroom too much, whupping their lilly pads.

I wish that was my air box! That's on down the road for me. 8^) Alright "Blind Mellow Jelly" we're thinking alike, heat riser it is. See post #316. "I want my daddies records" I'll put some screen on there just in case. Thank you Gentleman!

I did the same when I didn't know any better!

Thank you Mr Arnett, I have an ugly hose with a 3/8s to 1/4 adapter stuck in it. That chair stopper will be much better. Here's what I'm talking about though, Here's what I think I can use if I need to. I was thinking the more air the better so just put screen wire over the opening to keep the varmints out?

There's one of those 4 fusible links that can cut power to them I think? Some have a cut off in the AFM when the flap is closed, others have it in the oil pressure sender. Kills the pump when you have an accident, no air or no oil pressure. Look at Blue's picture and find the other stuff for EFI. Good luck.

They're some drawings for a wooden crate floating around here that Zedyone Kenobi put up. I made one and use it all the time. The oil pan and the oil pump stay on too. the head can be stored in a bag but you must put something under it to keep from resting on the vales, there will always be two sticking down past the bottom. I've used doubled up cardboard on one and styrofoam on another, both work good. Put the rest in boxes. here's that wood crate. you'll need some casters for it so you can roll it around. And those bumper's boxes look just like the ones from Futofab that I bought, the rear is 3 piece though.

I bought two Exedy 6907 or something like that from amazonmcom. $100 and they're great in my opinion. Not to heavy, good street clutch.

Vinegar's a good idea. You can also use a short section of chain instead of nuts, whichever you may have. I used a brass wire wheel on a cordless drill on the outside of mine. Painted it black then did the bottom with undercoating. I wish I had used truck bed liner though, it's much tougher.

Another question while I'm recharging. What should I do with the big hole on my air filter now? It used to go to a heat riser (that's what I've always heard) off the stock exhaust manifold. Now I have a header. Should I block it off and restrict the air flow or put some type of screening over it and let it breathe? Thanks.

I'm excited that I'll get to use that for the 20 minute run-in on the first start up after a rebuild. When I built my 280's motor I had to jimmy rig a wire on the throttle rod to maintain 2,000 rpms.

I think I'll check myself into a rehab facility after I get mine cranked. A 30 day r&r would be great and my ins. will pay.

Thanks Zed Head! I have a ZX distributor. I need to look more closely at the body. I know it has a #1 line on the cap. I'll take a better look and report back. Everything's going back together very well. I need to run the 2.5 exhaust back to the rear then recheck everything. Then it's FIRE IN THE HOLE time. Maybe tomorrow morning? wizz the neighbors off a little more.

Another question. To static time? my dizzy I should put the pointer on the 10 degree BTDC mark on the pulley. Then rotate the cap until the #1 mark on the cap lines up with the center of the rotor button. I can take a Sharpie and transfer the caps #1 line onto the body of the dizzy and turn until the button lines up with the Sharpie mark, no? Thanks for any help, I'm done lubricating the small stuff for today and am having trouble typing this as I've become blinder. "Where's my only cigarette?"

I agree with Jonathan and from recent experience I can add another thought. I rebuilt my 2.4 then it sat for about 9 months on an engine stand. The thought of new rings on the newly honed cylinder walls got me thinking about turning the motor over without the rings being seated. The walls have very fine ridges that should be worn down to match the rings during break-in, not turning the motor with a ratchet and socket. They'll also get a slight bit of flash rust My $.02
