Hi all! Trying to check the timing and when I hooked up the timing light, the light would only come on when I hooked up the wire to the #2,5,6 plug wires. when I hooked to the 1,3 or 4 wires the light would not come on. Cap and rotor is in good condition, points and plug wires are new. Any suggestions?

let me guess you have a nice new set of yellow 7mm wires. Go to the parts store and get a set of OEM type wires.

You can time it on #6 but that doesn't answer the question. Does it run OK?


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

The new plug wires are black. And it seems to be running ok. I just wanted to check the timing because it seems to crank a little hard when warmed up.
