Very much so.

and a spare cap to keep in the truck!

And rotor. I said the same thing. At least I have some trail spares now.

 

[Bent77]

Plenty common to others too

 

[GWeakland620]

So I rotated the dizzy 180* and I still get funny noises from the intake. Any suggestions?

Ran to the local AN fitting store (really it’s a belt and hose store, but they carry AN fittings too) and picked up a new fitting for the TB and an extra 45* elbow for some mock up. Been using this long section of rubber line to find good routes. I like the way this is going to work out. Now just to get some heat shield and start laying it down for real.

Looking at this picture, your distributor/firing order is jacked up.

 

[Fastereddie]

Should be like this.

With HEI, cap should sit this way.

Not this or any other way.

Maybe you already know this, but the picture I saw doesn’t look right.

Now that I go back and look I agree, the distributor housing looks to be off.

My recommendation, pull the distributor, find TDC and drop it back in right like @Fastereddie has shown above in the pics.

Trying to count out the firing order, I think this is what he has. One would think as long as you have number one wire lined up with the rotor it would work, but I have found that is not always the case. I think there are certain combinations where the pickup coil is out of phase with the rotor.

You are both 100% right. And I just had the same realization while pooping.

This is 100% it. It's trying to fire on #1 while the rotor is on 5 or 7. I shall be fixing tonight. Thanks for the help!!!

I'm a productive thinker while pooping too

So I swapped all my plug wires around last night, but unfortunately the last time I swapped the dizzy 180* thinking it was backwards, well it wasn't. Tried to fire it last night and it is 180* out. So I'll pull it for hopefully the last time tonight and fire it up.

 

[campfire]

Did you lose yet?

 

[GWeakland620]

Lol no, it ran for a second. Not getting fuel.

 

[GWeakland620]

So I think the pods will have to go on the Jimmy.

 

[campfire]

Are you pretending to be a policeman?

 

[campfire]

How does the pod compare in brightness to the old halogens?
