74 2.0 D-Jet
Heading to the garage now to start the install and my main, unresolved-in-my-brain question is if i need to hook up the vacuum line that is on my current stock distributor, on the 123. |

Hey @Rob-O - That's been the exact procedure. Confirming my TDC by both white mark in the notch (not the red - which is 27 degrees - which I don't use because I have a digital dial-back timing light) and the white marking that I can see thru the bottom trans inspection hole (for valve settings). AND the rotor points to where it always has (now, anyway - not when it was 180 out) which is at approximately 10 o'clock when standing at the back of the car.
I started it and then shut it off and loaded a curve. (one that @Lockwodo had posted he liked for his 2.0) as well as a flat 10 degree across the board in an attempt to confirm the timing @Stratfink - no luck on either. Just wouldn't idle (I backed the screw all the way out in a desperate attempt to get it to just idle - even if it was going to be high) no luck. i'm SURE i'm doing something wrong here - still - so...today i'm going to put the original one with a Pertronix back in and see how that goes. I shall report back. Continued thanks for sticking with me on this "journey" - unfortunately, today is the last day I'll have to deal with this for a number of weeks so....let's hope for an early Christmas miracle. More soon. |
