Hi guys,

I posted a thread up not that long ago saying i got water in a spark plug chamber and it caused poor running, eventually leading to cutting out the engine and the coil pack breaking.

New coil pack in and its a lot better as it will start now. Problems is when i give it load its like someone is retarding the ignition. There is no real power.

Now im onto a 2nd hand didtributor thats know to work and still the same problems.

I fitted the original dist back onto the timing markings i made aswell to make sure it would run ok first turn of the key.

I hooked up a timing light to look for a mark on the bottom pulley but i cant see anything at all. No markings on the pulley !

How is it i time the engine then ?

Thanks in advance !

Put a timing gun onto the bottom pulley and the timing mark will only appear on the bumper side of the pulley. I can swing the dizzy back but the timing mark wont appear on the firewall side of the pulley.

AH !

if you can't see anything your timing must be off, same thing that happened to me.
