This is better than the Saturday dime matinee at the Bijou!
Again, allow me to state for the record, that all of the components being used are BRAND NEW, fresh from the box/package.....that includes the solid core wires. I know that sometimes, we get sold the wrong parts....like one set of points I brought home to find that the genius dealer isn"t such a genius afterall. I told him plainly I needed points&Condenser for a 1952 Super A. He gets the stuff together, it goes in a bag and after I start to install things, find the points fit "1963 and up". Yeah, that PISSED me off!
Point being, it pays to look the new parts over because they"re not always what you asked for.
I pondered the timing issue and I"m going to check that out next. How it could have gotten out of time is beyond me. I have never set the timing/loosened the distributor and unless it moved by it"s lonesome....and I"m not saying it can"t happen.....but I haven"t touched it. The distributor being gear driven sure as hell can"t jump time....short of a stripped keyway or broken gear itself. One of the first things I checked was to make sure the rotor button was going around-de-round...no problem there.
Just one question if 1-3-4-2 being the correct firing order......what would be the firing order if it was 180 degrees out? Can an engine run 180 degrees out of time, IF the appropriate plugs get fired on the compression stroke?
I know an engine correctly wired won"t run 180 degrees out of time because it wants to fire on the exhaust valve is open.
Stay tuned, this caper is going to be solved. You fellers keep sending in your detective clues!

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
