G'day again all Well The yellow beast has been running like crap for the last week... anything over 4000RPM and 4Psi Boost was leaving me with the popping farts and misfires.... SO, yesterday i changed.... Plugs (From NGK BP7ES to Equivalent Champions) Leads Cap Rotor Condensor Points Now, i set the points gap (by eye.. nasty, i know but i was in a hurry...) to about 0.035" at the PEAK of the dizzy cam.... It started first go, was a bit lazy to rev until it sat for a few mins (normal) then coughed and spluttered with a very low idle and almos NO bottom (below 1300RPM) torque.. almost couldnt get out of the driveway! Once moving its clean, revs sweetly all the way to 7500 and will hold 12Psi boost without a hassle..... SO, can points gap really make that much difference ? Should i a) open them a little b) CLose them a little c) Buy a Dwell meter you lazy, tightfisted git d) leave it alone, its ok like that. Cheers all J |

re reading your post, i wonder if your dissy is ok? Will be interested to see how it runs next time your start it, as if it is different again i would guess the advance has decided to wander off and do it's own thing. I would think that to be the worst case senario. How much dissy work do they do when you throw it on the dino? Cheers Aaron |

i still think your a fool big willy but yes, i do believe that swearing doesn't need to appear of forums, it is simple, youngens get on here, and we should have enough of a grasp of the english language not to need to use the words. I must be a crusty old man, eh willy? All i do is pick on you, eh willy? |

Yea, i apologise for that, but in this case it was justified..... Probably $650 Worth of stuff left my garage with only a promise "yea, I'll get that to you" "I'll need it by Christmas" "Yea, no problem" Then i tried to get in touch with him, only to be told he's leaving for the UK in the next few days !! He Dropped the unfinished Disks to Kev's place (where they wait patiently - Im not rushing Kev, he needs the time to get that red beast ready to beat me at the Dyno day .....) No sign of the Dizzy, or an apology, or even a possible return date.... So Sorry for the swearing, but in this case it WAS justified...... J |

kazjim, in the meantime, .035" is way too big a points gap. You would have bugger all dwell and they are more likely to bounce.. 
Try .015" or so. |

0.015" is only a rough guide. measuring points gap means nothing. dwell is the only thing that matters.... 60 degrees.(51 for emissions) use a dwell guage to be 100 percent correct. |
