You may have to reset the distributor again. You can tweak a little with the advance.If it's off you may find the distributor is off by a tooth. Now let's confirm the order and run the wires. Now.let's look at the timing marks.you should be close. Sometimes the oil pump drive will not allow the distributor to drop into the sweet spot.you have to bump the starter or turn the crank to get the distributor to drop in. You can pull the distributor and walk it around to marked #1 on the cap. You can run your wires from here and it will run. If it's not pointing to marked #1 on the cap.no big deal. Where that rotor is pointing now after confirming compression stroke is #1. It does not matter how the distributor is marked. This spot where the rotor is pointing now. Note rotorary button location.ĭo this twice or thrice more confirming that #1 piston is at the top of it's compression stroke.Īfter doing this 3 times.the rotor should be landing in about the same spot. With you finger find number 1 compression again.
#Installing a new cam 350 manual
Refer to your shop/engine manual for cylinder numbering and firing order. Remember Ford and GM number the cylinders differently.Make sure you are numbering the cylinders correctly! It does not matter for this test! This a bridge that will be crossed later. It does not matter for this test!įorget about timing marks for the moment. Right now we just want to get it running. It does not matter and it can be reset later. Let's forget where the rotor is pointing for a moment. Went out in my bathrobe put the wires in the correct firing order, busted it off with open megaphone headers, shut it off an went back in and back to a very sound sleep.Ĭlick to expand. Woke up at 02:30 one night with the revelation that I had wired it counterclockwise to match the Olds pattern rather than clockwise to match the Chevy pattern. I built a T bucket with a 283 and it backfired just like your engine is for several nights on end when I was trying to start it. Story on myself, back years ago I had an Olds Cutlass with a 350R as my daily driver/drag car and was used to tuning it. One backfire can blow out a power valve but that shouldn't keep it from starting or cause big backfires. You do not give a rip that it may or may not physically point towards the actual cylinder and anyone who told you that is a bulshit artist that needs a kick in the ass. YOUR only interest is that the rotor points to number 1 on the distributor when you have number 1 cylinder on TDC. Am I correct?įiring order is as in the second image with clockwise rotation. Lining up the gears like that tells me that you are normally used to working on a different engine that isn't a small block Chevy. Still if you had the cam gear at the top it should have lined up at the bottom after one rotation of the crank. The cam and crank gears should have been lined up as shown in the photo below.
