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 - Some People Like Red - by Art Willis. I was smitten, as a little boy, by red tractors. I used to play in the coastal sand of my Dad & Mom's home with little red tractors, trucks and cars. I grew up believing that like fire trucks, ALL tractors are supposed to be red! Today, the only way I would drive a John Deere is if someone would paint it RED! Driving a Tractor for the first time - About 19 years ago, when my wife Donna and I moved to what was the country then, I was given access to a large Farmall tractor by a wi
