Hi,
I rebuilt the distributor today and it is now gorgeous.
It is timed to 6 BTDC as confirmed by my timing light
Does not run. I do however get a ton of fire out the cardburetor, and when cranking I actually now get each cylinder backfiring through the carb in sequence
pow-pow-pow-pow. Should not be happening unless intake valve still open. Intake should long ago be shut by 6 BTDC. If there was just a stuck valve I
wouldn't get 95 PSI compression on every cylinder.
Since the original problem was supposedly screeching thought to be a destroyed governorI am now (as in next weekend now) going to pull the timing cover as
I wonder if in a previous life someone got the cam shaft wrong - off by a tooth or two.
I will update next weekend. Thanks for all the help and if this sparks haha new ideas please say.
