Mi16 Dizzy Adaptor Timing Help

[blessed6383 0]

after removing my dizzy and re-fitting now the car wont start (didn't mark it before removing) does anyone know where this should be fitted (correct angle) as need to move the car but cant get it running again it ran fine before but would not tick over as timing wasn't set corect.

 

I know he bracket is broke but it still has the bottom one so can still be tighten up and this is only temp anyway.

 

cheers

If it goes on like an 8 valve engine then the cap is on the wrong way round, as is the main body of the distributor.

 

having said that I have no experience whatsoever of these lazy man devices so I don't know if that's still correct!

so would the vacum be at the back?

 

i know these things are sh*t and look terrible but just need to move the car this weekend and need it running. an hopefully picking up a mi16 ecu and loom next weekend so can do away with this crap

I also have this s3it set up and your to far retarded from what I can see.

 

My black plug is near the bottom of the dizzy.

 

Basically keep advancing (turn to the bulk head)

so the vacum cylinder type thing wants to be near the top? take it your firing order is swapped 1-3 and 2-4 are the other way round if your cap is facing backwards? do you have a pic mate?

I've got an H&H dizzy so no vac but it should be near the top.

 

I can get a pic for you later if you still need.

 

The firing order should be the same as your turning the whole unit round.

You need to stick number 1 at TDC and check which lead goes and fires in the cap, No point of anyone saying which way the cap goes as I;ve seen these in all sorts of direction's.

 

Mind you want to sort your water system out as blanking off the outlet above the stat housing is a big NO NO

there's nowhere for it to connect to? would it run back up to the header? as on my old one theside outlet was blanked but i have this running to my header now instead

yes mate a pic would be good if you have one.

AS said mate, get no.1 cylinder firing then check the rotor arm is pointing to no.1 lead and plug etc

i take it to find TDC on number 1 i need to remove the plug and slide a rod down and rotate engine untill the rod is at its highest point? i assume this is the right way but thought it best to double check?

yes, but its got to be on compression, not exhaust.
