im getting that seems like a missfire after fixing a bolwn headgasket.
i am assuming its the dizzy. could it be the cap and rotor is bad or something else?

it starts up, but not right away everytime. when it does start up, it sounds like a lawn mower on but for a few moments during a drive it drives normally. im thinking that the firing of the sparks is not consistant. checked the compression and the compression is about 110.

 

Did you set the ignition timing?

 

yeah it should be at the correct degree, i used a timing light on it. right dead on between the 3 lines, i believe its red for the center line color.

 

Put your motor at TDC and make sure your cam lines up accordingly

 

thanks guys.
figured it out.
it was a bad dizzy.
