I have got the engine back runing and went for a quick 10 minute drive. At first, I put the distributor back in place ( i had not rotated engine) and tried to crank for a second. I could tell my oil pump wasnt engaging, so I took it back off and somehow it fell right into place then and cranked up thankfully.
Engine ran good but not perfect and I definitely noticed a little drop in power. And I am sure this is due to it not being timed perfectly. I still havent been able to find the timing hole (of course lot of dirt in the area) and I have never "timed" engine before. I know its pretty close for it to run as good as it did and didnt know if I could just adjust distributor a little bit with engine warm at idle until it is running better, if i make a mark of where I am right now on distributor.
Any thoughts or advice is extremely welcomed. | | | |
