Post subject:  Pulsar dizzy orientation
Hi all. I have been sorting out some gremlins and have come to the ignition part.i have no timing marks as they have all been machined off. I am trying to get a base setting for timing by adjusting then dizzy until it pinGs.

Thing is the stupid dizzy either fouls the starter solenoid, oil feed pipe or oil pressure fitting and I just can't get enough advance...


I'm thinking about just gettin a 123 set up or blanking the vac advance off.

I'm going to get a harmonic balancer with marks and change it. Also a timing cover with marks on it.

WithouT an definitive timing setting tuning is just pointless.

Anyone had a similar problem ?

I have changed the coil and it's still dying under load too. I think the dizzy might be buggered anyways.....


Kids this is why you should do it right first time....


Thanks for your replys :)

If you pull the dizzy out you can pull the distributor drive out of the block and turn it an extra tooth to advance the drive.
As for top dead centre pull a plug out and bring number 1 piston up to top of the bore.
With a bit of finesse you should be about to get it close.
Mark the harmonic balancer and make a pointer.
I bent up a bit of coat hanger and bolted it down to the timing chain cover on one of my old motors.
That should give you a decent starting reference point.
One of the dial in timing lights would be handy or a protractor to work out the timing marks (5,10,15).

Cheers Rob.

Ps I'm no expert but this is what i did to solve the same issue years ago (Lighten flywheel without markings).
