Removed distributor to paint engine and marked rotor position. Tried to put back in and won"t go down the last 1/4 inch. The gears are engaging. Flywheel was not turned. What am I doing wrong??? 821 loader/backhoe [Reply]   [No Email]

Doesn't sound like a good design to me either? But they did plenty of them.......search the junk yards, particularly GM. [Reply]  [No Email]

I always thought these things worked on the same basic principal as a septic tank. I know I've cleaned enough crap out of them to qualify! :lol: [Reply]  [No Email]

Large (even medium) power units are not cheap, paid several thousand for an 'old' one powered by 6 cyl Ford, last year. [Reply]  [No Email]

I don't see any leaks It had a Ford sticker Industrial Power Products Model B8PD -6002GP1 172 cu in The power unit has a front for radiator and a rear handle operated clutch with a direct drive to a large 4 groove pulley 800ehg [Reply]  [No Email]

It came to me with a butchered bell housing and a 62 jeep 4 cylinder. I wanted to go back to a regular ford engine so I need everything. I am still short 1) hydraulic pump. 2) Air filter and tube. 3) choke and throttle rods. 4) Radiator. I think I can cobble up everything else. I still have the power unit so maybe I can trade or offset the costs so far.. [Reply]  [No Email]

Keeping in mind that as distributor drops that last 1/2 inch, the rotor will turn a little more. Once it drops, you can back up the flywheel to starting point to verify. [Reply]  [No Email]

BOTH have to line up. Once cam/distr gear engaged, hold distr with hand & bump engine with starter & it will drop in. [Reply]  [No Email]

My next question will be How do I set timing. Starter is off engine but I can turn flywheel. Motor is on engine stand. George [Reply]  [No Email]

I guess the oil pump moved a little. I set the rotor and rotated the flywheel about 20 degrees when the dist fell in. I rotated back to the mark. Unfortunately I had to try twice to get the rotor in the right position. I took an overhead picture to help with the registration. I figure she should start right up. Now to sell the ford stationary power unit the motor came off. Thanks George overhead shot [Reply]  [No Email]
