    It has to be tdc on the firing stroke. I'd pull the cover to check cam Is tdc as well. Out of curiosity how does the distributor know the engine is tdc?
  2. Hans
    Do you have a condenser on the dizzy?
  3. Hans
    Are those soft mount carb gaskets I see?
  4. Hans
    That cap is toastado. How's the rotor? What kind of coil are you using?
  5. Hans
    I think you've got too much advance. I see sbout 8 to 10 at idle (800 or so) and 33 -35 all in at 3000. I'd start with that and as suggested, try more when car runs right. I'm getting the two dcoe threads mixed up. How did you synch the carbs?
  6. Hans
    The ti curve may b ve been fine in 1970. Anyway, we await answers to a number of questions.
  7. Hans
    Were those carbs running on the car before with that jetting? If not, who selected the combo?
  8. Hans
    I meant measured on the car with a light
  9. Hans
    What is max timing advance and at what rpms?
  10. Hans
    Don't scrub too hard. I would use vinyl cleaner
  11. Hans
    Be sure to check the calibration on the dipstick with correct oil fill.

    Seemed like a good idea 50 years ago when heads were cheap.

    Supplementary Question: I have a 121 head that is a bit over 5.060, but it has grooves from cutting ring gasket. Can I just use a regular gasket and leave the grooves?
  14. Hans
    what are the symptoms?
  15. Hans
    And in the extreme, it can damage your motor.

    As I recall, the factory had several iterations of the standard shell to allow for slight variations. I thought they were colours. So maybe that explains the .3.
  17. Hans
    Why not get a proper dizzy. Plenty of used ones.
  18. Hans
    Correct. Just making the point. Front pulley is easier to see. Try putting car at tdc , find notch on pulley and see what it aligns with. Didnt tii have something underneath?
  19. Hans
    Keeping in mind that #1 reaches TDC twice during a firing cycle.
  20. Hans
    Keep in mind that the ti advance of 39 was designed around fuel availability in 1970s Germany, i.e., leaded 98. I have a ti motor with 40's and the tii style dizzy. 33 to 35 gets me about 10 at idle.
  21. Hans
    38 all in is a bit on the high side for a street motor, depending on CR and fuel quality. I use 33 all in at about 3000rpm. You could try increasing slightly from there listening for pinging (which is hard to hear with dual webers). YMMV
  22. Hans
    I have one ujoint, one 4 ear at front, one three ear at back.
  23. Hans
    I've not seen that bracket on two long neck cars. I had 4 ear flange welded onto long neck driveshaft.
  24. Hans
    Keep in mind that you can flood the engine pretty quickly pumping twin 40s. I'd looking into fuel pressure reg as suggested. It could go in the tank area with filter and pump. Do you have the plastic spacer sleeve on the tank outlet pipe? How about timing? What is that stuff on the battery terminals?
  25. Hans
    Turn the wheel while pulling?
