What happened ?

 

[gert]

Oil pump drive gear wouldn’t fit into distributor, had to open pump up remove it file it, timing is off can’t get distributor out of housing, pissed off gonna pull the whole cover and pump and go back to the old one and try to set TDC and then time distributor

Got a little tow pig porn today. I added load leveler air bag kit on it and it took about 4 hours of swillin beer and eating cheap Chinese take out to get it done





Notice anything different about the license plate? I decided I would rather drill holes in state property than my nice chrome bumper

I figured you would put it at 45 degrees mounted into the tailgate. Will the airbags give it some lift with the trailer behind ?

 

[gert]

Yep the leaves on the Ramcharger are fairly soft, once I get the trailer loaded on the back I can pump up the bags to restore a level ride height

Don't stall out. But it is Sunday, go drink 2 and relax and get back to it after relaxing, maybe tomorrow

 

[gert]

And it still doesn’t start, I’m starting to suspect I missed something some how on the timing chain

I’m at my local watering hole not getting service and took a look at my timing chain picture and believe I found my issue



That chain is going to meet my 10 pound sledge hammer and then my cutting torch

Regardless of your current issues, you never cease to amaze in the volume of work you get done in short time frames. Keep getting after it as I continue to sit and wait on the painter...

The key looks like it is on the bottom keyway. It need to be at the 2 o'clock position with the marks lined up like you have them.

Btw I didn't realize I sent you a link for the chevy and ford cloyes timing set.
