Just put Petronix in 69 427/400. Got it to crank and it stalled. I have tryed to restart by moving distributor around and have not been able to start it. I have a variable timing light, is there a way to get the timing right when the car is not started? Or any other ways I can get it started Thanks
Pull #1 Spark Plug
Click starter to bring #1 up on compression stroke
Stop just before TDC viewing damper mark
Hook up timing light
Turn key to ON position
SLOWLY rotate distributer; when light flashes lock down distributer.
Start engine and time as usual.
If the timing marks line up, set your light a little advanced. Otherwise, zero it... It should fire immeadiately. If an engine coughs and sputters your timing is messed up.
