Hello all!
I have a 51 3100 with a 216, which I believe is a 48 216. I have been dealing with the well known stumbling/hesitating under acceleration. I’ve done just about everything that is usually done with the exception of replacing the dizzy. The odd issue I am having is when setting the timing on the bb, my bb bounces around consistently when the engine is missing. Anyone experienced this before?
I have accomplished the following: ignition system replacement(points, condenser, plugs, wires, cap, rotor) carb has been replaced, valves have been adjusted, ran with valve cover off and all valves operating properly... and proba Lt more that I missed.
I pulled the dizzy out and I specked it and there seems to be a lot of up and down play on the gears. The vacuum advance works properly from what I can tell. The dizzy moves under acceleration.
I have dual straight pipes and a 12v conversion.
