You're telling me the factories who made certain models of distributors screwed up the rotor phasing so bad that you have to modify the position of the breaker plate/pick-up to correct it? Or get an adjustable rotor, an adjustable cap, an adjustable breaker plate or pickup, or install a crank trigger. I'm thinking this doesn't apply to 99% of classic car people...but cool modification if it really was necessary...btw people, without one of those parts I mentioned THERE IS NO ADJUSTING ROTOR PHASING, just had to be clear.

Nice work - so you used a 1972 kit? What aluminum rad are you using?
@mopars4usАй бұрын
Yes, a 72 kit. Radiator I don’t remember who I got that from, but it wasn’t one of the 700 dollar ones.

Thanks. I need to flush a GM 5.7. Changed a freeze plug and could feel about 2 inches of rust in the bottom of the block. What is the best way to flush that? I think it was from the failed Dexcool stuff that had to be taken off the market due to rusting engine blocks.

I challenge you to disable your vac adv & shine the light in the drilled hole in the cap & rev the eng & you will find that phasing does not change. Also move your initial & you also will find that phasing does not change. Only vac adv changes phasing. excellent idea to slot the mounting plate holes on the side of the dist which again will only change the phasing range that vac adv adds. not sure if the vac adv mounting would need to be changed slightly to accomodate this but I am going to do it as I run vac adv. Some mounting plates have a roll pin locator in the housing wall which would need to be removed. on a side not Echlin has a rotor with a longer (.060" iirc) blade which will reduce the gap & help with phasing issues.

Hi, Greg, Thanks for the vid. I found out why I had an occasional tick at idle. I measured the gap w my brass feeler .008" and half were in spec, the rest at .010. I tried to set the closest to .008. My technique not so good. Starting the engine, i heard loud ticking!! Popped the cap and noticed the center shaft has play. I only have a few thousand miles on this Mopar model - new when I bought it. I went and reset the closest to .010" and ticking all gone. If you read this, can u tell me if the shaft should be moving?? It's about .004" play. Thank you

Most people thread the casting and use screw in jets. That way changes that are enviable to change size is much easier. Yes drill and tap should be done on a bench and blown off to avoid chips internally.

What can I do to lower my shift points?
@mopars4us10 ай бұрын
Hi. If you have a mechanical rod type throttle pressure assembly you can adjust the rod shorter by turning the adjuster clockwise. That is assuming we are talking about a Mopar with a TF type transmission. Your question was lacking a bit of info on what you have. :-)
@bretcj710 ай бұрын
Oops yeah i was too vague. I have a 2 barrel sniper with a Lokar kickdown cable to my 727. It seems like no matter how tight or loose my kickdown is it shifts way too late
@mopars4us10 ай бұрын
Do you have a return spring on your throttle pressure lever itself? It’s a must, because the lever will not back off all the way without it. It needs to be pulled all the way forward when there is zero throttle opening.
@bretcj710 ай бұрын
You are right!! It wasn’t going back another 1/2” so it was always ready to engage the tv right away!
@bretcj710 ай бұрын
@mopars4us how much travel should I have before the lever starts to make contact with the tv plunger? It is that relative based on how I want my shift points?

Not all vacuum advanced cans are the same, some are adjustable, some are preset and have stoppers on the arm of it and some are Electronicly controlled with one wire.
@kennacraftjr.651311 ай бұрын
Using the dollar bill is a good idea. The gap should be .008 but it needs to be set at full vacuum of the vacuum advance because when vacuum is applied by the motor it brings the pickup closer to the relucter.

GM electronic distributors are similar but terribel staff the pick up coils cant by variabel,the 4pin gm ignition module uses the mc 3334 ic chip who isnt variabel ,the e core ignition coil in my case is over complicated. The thing is that staff does not work on lowr temperatures like winter time ,they need relay to bypass some voltage ,the s/r type starter selenoid works only on points ignition ,the static created from other devices confuse those circuets so they miss fire on the original hei circuet by my its missing the zener clamping diode. Generali I need retarding mechanism for my ignition system so Im reali anoyed cant finde any usefull information how those things are magneticali or electricali phase shifted not even ic chip experts culd give my good enough answer
