  8. Pinto Timing

    in Engine

    Posted · Edited by Pintogogo

    Just fitted an accuspark electronic dizzy, coil, 8mm silicon leads n Iridium plugs and car started straight up, but ticking over about 1200 revs, timing marks (8deg BTDC on pulley I think??) looked way out with strobe but when brought into alignment engine seemed to slow down n not run as smooth, on road test it seemed to be pinking quite badly. Can anybody recommend ignition settings (possibly with diagram of cast pulley marks) for a 2L (205 block) engine to help me out

     

    Thanks in advance ( no pun intended lol)

    Thanks for the help guys, it is much appreciated, I've been looking at accuspark kits on ebay (dizzy, coil, leads n plugs) and was wondering will one kit fit all as I think my dizzy is a Motorcraft one ( black dizzy cap, spring contact on top of black rotor arm), or are there kits to replace Bosch and Motorcraft separately?

    Engine idles steadily and it is a 'popping' in the exhaust (like a backfire), when the revs are dropped and then the accelerator pressed the engine pops for a second before picking up, I'm at work but i'll check vacuum connections and dizzy when i get home.

    Thanks for your help it is much appreciated

  12. Speedo Not Working

    Hi,

     

    I have a front wheel pickup, and it only works when sensing attached magnets on the front hub as they whiz by (on the wheel studs in my case).

     

    the sensor has to be very close to the magnets - like 2mm away.

     

    I wonder if in disassembly you've knocked the magnets off.

     

    If you want a 4 nice magnets (i got a box of 20), hit me with your address and i'll post them over to you

    Thanks Fossett PM sent

    After removing front wheel to have puncture repaired my digital speedo has stopped working, I'm not sure if there should be some sort of pick up on inside rim of alloy to allow sensor on wishbone to transmit info to dash, all other functions (fuel, trip, water temp etc OK) can any one shed a little light on this - cheers harry
