It currently aligns with the tab at the top (under the water pump) at TDC on the compression stroke and the rotor points to the number 8 mark on the distributer housing. This mark lines up with the number one contact on the distributer cap. I have a compression gauge hose that I screw into the number one cylinder so I can easily be sure I have pressure to ensure I am on the compression stroke. Wondering why I only have the one mark on the crankshaft balancer? Am I missing something? |
if the crankshaft mark is on the tdc and cylinder One is at the top that seems correct. my guess with the backfire is the distributor is off.
is there fuel in the combustion chamber/plugs ? should be .
