Title: 130 help needed no 2! Post by: mirafioriman on May 13, 2008, 07:05:41 PM Still having problems with the ignition timing. Can any one tell me, which way round does the distributor go? Does the LT lead come out on the engine block side or the other side?

Don't ask me why but the cap is numbered 1-6, when we set the static timing (No 1 firing) it would not run. My Father (ex mechanic still knows his stuff it appears) tried swapping leads around diagonally, it started and runs fine.? ??? Number 1 is now number 5 and so on. Work that one out!

I did that with my 131 once (must have been having an off day :-\ ) and in persistently trying to start it, I managed to get it to backfire through the carburettors and set the air filter alight! :o
