The rotor and cap had an impact mark on them. I replaced them at the time and reset the timing. It retarded the timing ten degrees from the impact. I think it just took some time for that bushing to get out of tolerance where I was able to finally notice all these problems. Lesson learned...

Probably a tool made for it I’m sure instead of me making a mess of it. On to give more money to summit!

Or threaded rod and plate and use the block as support to back it out?

Now who has a good trick removing that. Thread it and use a slide hammer?

Funny uncle Tony’s garage just had a video about this. Probably should’ve watched that earlier!

Well that distributor whack was the culprit when the clip came off. Intermediate shaft is worn out and bottom of the distributor gear. Put the cap 180 out and it moved to number 4 cylinder. Tower bushing and shaft and gear on the way.

Leak down was at tdc. Going fishing today. Definitely something to look at. Have a mini bore scope coming to take a peak in there before I crack open the motor. I'll keep the updates coming.

Also ran it with vacuum booster line disconnected and spraying carb spray directly into that runner to see if it came to life and no go. Was trying to solve it without pulling the intake first but I think I’m getting to that point now.

Edlebrock rpm air gap for the intake. Running the motor with the wire off of number 7 the plug doesn’t even get wet with fuel. Header tube on 7 doesn’t even steam water when running. Coolant looks good. No bubbles in the radiator when I did the leak down. Gone over the firing order so many...

I’ll start a thread with what I’ve done with it. It was fun. They’re definitely unique cars that can be made to have some real fun with. You just don’t see them anymore. Here’s a funny video don’t mind my dental work! Blocked a few too many fists and sticks with my face in my ice hockey...

Not sure if we can post a video on here but it sounds great.

Here’s a shot of my routing. If I did it again I would’ve bought a better quality tubing like stainless bro’s. The eBay stuff is okay but the thickness consistency of the bent tubing varies a bit so it’s easy to blow through with your tig if your humming along and then it all the sudden gets...
