M_R_205 5 1 Cars Posted May 5, 2007 (edited) following on from the previous topic i have now got the engine back but still no luck with it firing, im putting it down to me fitting the dizzy adaptor badly as i am getting a spark and the carbs are fueling any way question 1 for 100 points, how do you fit the adaptor lol the way i have is... set piston 1 to tdc and line the drive bit on the cam so that the rotor arm sits bang in the middle of one of the spark lead contacts, then fit the leads round the cap to match the firing order, i cant see any other way of fitting or how this could be wrong any help much apriciated Edited May 5, 2007 by M_R_205 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
