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? |

Joe--you know, that may be what's going on. I didn't pull it out to check, but I put everything together and fired it up--no problems whatsoever (minus the fact that I still need to time it) Rich--I'll try to get a pic of what I was talking about--the notch on the lip of the body of the dizzy. Like looking over a coffee cup with a small line notched into the lip. It apparently is used to mark something? Now, after timing and carb adj, I should be ready to go! Thanks everyone for the input |
