Fuel delivery is fine. Have a glass fuel filter and it is full when Engine starts acting up. Total Advance is hovering in the 35 to 36 range when...
Checked hot. Did wet test immediately following dry test. Wet test raised the numbers to 130 to 121 range. I figured there is human error involved...
Thanks for all the input. I am pretty sure the engine was assembled by the previous owner and only the machining was done by the shop. What...
Unfortunately the receipt from the build doesn't specify the type of rings. I have to put this project aside to move my daughters surprise...
Answering from first to last; How many hours do you think it will take to get them completely seat? Do you think it possible the timing chain was...
No one on this site has ever done a compression check on a 231 odd fire?
I rebuilt the carb, adjusted it with a vacuum gauge, and have 2 solid streams on the accelerator pump so I think I'm good on carburation.
That's not a bad idea, I think I'll pick one up and rule that out. It wouldn't hurt to have an extra one kickin' around just in case.
Anyone done a compression check on your 231 odd fire? What was the approximate compression? I did a check on mine and all the cylinders were...
Well, there are no points with the HEI so I guess the Dist. or the module could be bad. The vacuum is acting normal as per the information above....
Well, there's no points with an HEI, so I could have a worn out Dist. Or a worn out module. I'll go through the vacuum test and double check the...
Sorry, the vacuum is at 19 both at idle.
The Dist (HEI) doesn't seem to have any play in the shaft. The dwell is hovering around 22, and the vacuum
I used the carb cleaner spray method to detect vacuum leaks but didn't think about using a gauge. What should the vacuum be?
OK. Set the timing at 12 degrees and reconnected the vacuum advance. When the engine is revved, the overall advance is at 35 to 36. The Jeep is...
Got home from work too late so this will have to wait until the weekend. I did however manage to get a picture of the timing cover.
Sounds good! I will forgo the cost of the advance timing light and mark my balancer and jeepcj suggested. I'll also take a picture of the balancer...
Good call! I eye balled the distance between 0 and 12 and when revved, it's hovering in the 35 range. If you you can suggest a more accurate way...
