Hello,
I was installing my new SVDA dizzy tonight when I think something got screwed up... I had the 009 bumped to the #1 cyl position (notch on the dizzy), removed it, and put the new one in--I initially had some trouble getting the base to line up into the notch, but after I finally seated it, the rotor now seems to be pointing to the #4 position (directly towards the front of the car). I initially thought the notch was toward the #1 position (about 2 o'clock on the 009), and it seems I somehow moved it to the 12 o'clock position as I tried to install the new dizzy. I didn't think it was possible to do such a thing?? Is there something I'm missing? |

Where's the timing mark on the fan or flywheel pointing?

Hey Mike-- I was under the car and made sure the punch mark I had on the flywheel for (the opposite of) TDC was lined up at the bottom of the flywheel. I guess the option I have is to remove the dizzy, put the car in 5th, jack-up one side and check the flywheel/fan again and rotate if necessary (although I don't think my fan has marks on it for some reason). Where's the timing mark on the fan or flywheel pointing? Mike |
