    Try a thread chaser/cleaner rather than a cutting tap. Check amazon. I got Lang set.
  2. Hans
    That tank looks iffy.
  3. Hans
    Check for vacuum leaks. Have you checked timing? Dwell?

    The last thing I saw was #1 plug was soaked in gas, and you hadn't put in your new plugs.
  5. Hans
    90 deg doesn't sound right either. Anyway, if you tell Carl #2,3 and 4 are working fine, but #1 doesn't fire, the first thing he will do is put a fresh plug in #1 wire and test against the head.
  6. Hans
    Apparently my mind didn't get wrapped far enough around. It didn't sound right but I couldn't think of why. Always used #1. So how did OP check timing?
  7. Hans
    I was trying to get my head wrapped around using #2 to set timing. I guess it would work. However, this does not sound like a timing problem The most bizarre question for me is why OP hasnt popped a known plug into #1. If 2 ,3, and 4 work, the obvious things to check are the #1 wire (EVEN IF NEW), and the plug.
  8. Hans
    Timing doesn't normally suddenly change by itself.
  9. Hans
    Swap #1 and 2 plugs. See if problem moves. Same with wire. Or just test with plug pulled. But how did you time it if #1 is dead?
  10. Hans
    Good thing to check if charging warning light is on though.
  11. Hans
    How does that affect starting the car?
  12. Hans
    YMMV. Literally.

    Allen key works. Stepped feelers are better for checking your work. If you have correctly set the gaps, then on to other areas. The stethoscope to see if noise is lower in the block.
  14. Hans
    Intake .006, exhaust .008. Spec is in that range. Easy with stepped feelers. Do you have springy tool to hold eccentric?
  15. Hans
    I would revisit the valve adjustment to start. I use a go-no go set of stepped feelers. Get get a mechanics stethoscope to listen at lower block. Check the three end plugs are in the rocker shafts
  16. Hans
    OK, but diluted 20:1 for E5, that's miniscule. Or did I miss something?

    Also, ethanol fuel doesn't store well.
  18. Hans
    The less ethanol, the better
  19. Hans
    Sounds good. Keep in mind you need TDC for the firing stroke, and the notch needs to be in the same position relative to the engine.

    How did you determine where to drop in the dizzy?
  21. Hans
    Thanks
  22. Hans
    8mm replaces 7.5mm OK? Use clamps?
  23. Hans
    Or a part number for Contitech
  24. Hans
    Tthanks. I was hoping to find a cheaper substitute available in Canada. Dealer wants 40CDN.
  25. Hans
    Has anyone found a suitable substitute for the factory braided hose? The application in question is using silicone fluid, but suggestions for regular fluid would be useful.
