FE Technical Forum / Ignition timing question
« on: April 30, 2017, 03:24:07 PM »
Working the bugs out of my Merc, with the timing spot on at 6 degrees it dont run worth a damn. Does the Crane cam I used have anything to do with that ? If I advance it it runs better but how far can I go ?

How far should the driveshaft yoke actually stick out of the back of the trans when the vehicle is sitting on the ground at rest ? Anybody know ?

Buddy of mine has a Crane cam, the only marking we can find on it is 294-C , anyone know what this is ? Why is there no part number that I could look up in their catalog ?

What really sucks is now my wife is riding herd on me like I'm suddenly 10 yrs. old again. Doctors say I'm only running on 60 % right now, but they can't tell me if I was already that way before the attack, or that I'm that way just because of the attack. I figure that at my age and lifestyle, I couldn't have been at anywhere near 100 % anyway. One consolation though, we got a shitload of snow, so I can't get anything in or out of the garage anyhow.

Well, looks like the project is on hold for awhile, was shoveling snow Monday and had a really impressive heart attack. Wearing a portable defibrillator for awhile, can't do anything.

Got the bracket for the slave cyl. made, also made a clutch pedal and mounting for the master cyl. Now my only major hurdles when I start the swap will be the exhaust and driveshaft. Also mounted a one wire alternator.
