My dist. cap and rotor needed replacing on my '51 8n side dist. now all I get is backfireing, what did I do!?
I would say no, but bring number one cylinder up on compression stroke and see where the rotor is pointed.(quoted from post at 17:31:49 01/11/21) This is #1 right?
1 cap tower/wire can be any one of 4 positions. simply try 4 and one will work. 4 trys or less & home run!(quoted from post at 20:27:03 01/11/21) Dist. has not been removed, tractor was running fine. Shouldn't the #1 wire be relatively in the same orientation to the dist. like the picture I posted. I understand firing order and #1 cylinder is at front of motor. Just trying to verify #1 plug wire position on dist. cap.
ook at it this way, you fixed it in two attempts, so great....it could have taken four!(quoted from post at 18:45:02 01/12/21) I did too, still screwed it up!
