hey im new to hot rodding and i just replaced the intake manifold gasket on my 53 chevy. when i put the distributor back in, it would not fire. come to find out i was 180 degrees off, now it fires but has a miss, seems like it has to much time but if i turn dist. any farther clockwise it tries to die, also dies on me when i try to take it for a drive. any suggestions?
Whats your total timing set at now? Do you have your wires on right for both your distributor and plugs?
not sure what its set at but i do know my wires are on right
its a 327 out of a 69 comaro.
thanks alot for that i needed that diagram. i think this could also possibly be a vacum leak, yes? if so (without any tools) whats the easiest way to check my vacum? hope these aren't dumb questions. thanks for all the help. The reason I think it might be a vacum leak is because it is to advanced but when i try to slow it down it sputters.
ok thanks and ill have to get me one of those guages. man denny, i been looking through the forums and you really know your stuff. thanks alot for sharing the knowledge
