Hey I have an 82 not firing right. I just changed the timing belt, making sure #1 was at tdc and the cam indicator was pointing to the right spot. Looks dead on balls actually.
I don't understand what the deal is with lining the distributor up to #4. I've got mine lined up 10 degress advanced on #1 with a timing light and well its purring like a grown ass cat taking a dump.
Firing order 1342. Don't know what else it could be. Gonna try swapping the wires around so where I had 1342 i'll have 4213 tomorrow, but it feels like i'm grasping at straws here. Any suggestions?
Oh and also how important is getting the proper torque on the tensioner pulley? When I took it loose it dumped coolant everywhere and since I doing this job in a Hotel parking lot after work when its cold and dark I reefed on that bolt to make sure it sealed up. Should I loosen it and shoehorn a torque wrench in there?
Thanks in advance, gotta get this squared away otherwise I'm stuck here Christmas.
