Step by step tutorial on how to install a distributor into an engine
Seems like adding heavier weights instead of subtracting spring would solve the problem
How to remove stuck jet from lawn mower carburetor
Would re curving the the distributor help with acceleration? My friends truck is kind of a dog down low and it starts to pickup after 3k rpm. It’s has a small cam and a performer intake and has an MSD HEI
What about lighter springs?
VERY APPRECIATIVE of your attention to detail of actually teaching about important subjects that gets overlooked. Fantastic channel
I’m hoping your active as I truly need some help My mechanical is only allowing 11 degrees I’ve tried lighter springs and all it did was get my total timing in earlier Is it necessary to grind the center plate or do you think my issue is the slots the bushing go into ? I thought about opening them up with a file but I don’t know if maybe under 3000 rpm if the weight and center plate are at as far as they will go ? I can manually turn the mechanism to full lock and watch it spring back Sorry I’m new to this so just trying to have it all understood before I make a change
Amazing! Can I send you one?
So i have a chrysler with 400 engine. It says to set timing at 5 degrees. What would you recommend to set the base timing at?
Thanks for the info! Ive got a '67 Deville thats been sitting for a bit that I need to diagnose a no-start issue and this'll get me started... pun intended.
gotta ask , what does it cost to have someone like you tune a distributor ?
Great video. I need a 10deg machanical advance set up. My motor seems to like 24deg of inital
Once again another amazing video. We need more like you out there. Very informative and well explained! What brand/model of distributor machine is that??
Where you located?
Thanks for pointing out the differences. It’s true for virtually everything from China. I just ordered an OEM carburetor for my chainsaw because a knockoff just won’t run right.
. I think you better to practice the job first before recording video to teach people
What do you use for lubricant when you reassemble the distributor?
What distributor does come with a good curve built in? Myself, I've always ran around 22-24 degrees of initial with a total of 34-36 all in around 3k rpm depending on what the engine liked. What do you charge to curve one?
It seems a video might be in order: one that shows how ignition timing is related to the hp and torque curves could demonstrate how critical s Distributor set up is to performance. Understanding if you are setting up for torque or power can guide you in choosing where you have what advance, and how much.
At 2:53 you're saying you have 22° of advance but where you're pointing shows 12° total advance???
True
I assumed the machine was measuring degrees at the distributor, whereas we are used to degrees at the crank. He's just so used to reading it he automatically doubles the number so it's in crank degrees. My opinion.
Excellent video. Did you ever get the recurve video done. Wish I had one of these machines to tune my olds distributor.
Your numbers at the end of the video are exactly what i'm getting in my chevy. I remove one spring and leave it out, set base to 4btdc and rev it up to 5k and get 32-34btdc. thanks
Don't limit that advance like he is. 32 to 34 is where you want to be unless your engine has very high compression.
The video was very helpful, I sent you a message on the website about a project I have and what I need to send you thanks
Hey great video, I’m a newbie trying to learn how things work while fighting a project. I understand how have this done before you try to put your new build one the road is very beneficial. (With the caveat that may be more tuning is needed once on the road) but I appreciate the info and you gained a subscriber. Thank you sir
Summit center weight is upside down and there don't appear to be bushings on the weights which might cause binding.
Video is pretty much unwatchable The resolution is so low that the picture is tiny. Can't see anything.
Thank you for the comment. I didn’t realize it the resolution was low / picture is tiny. I went t back and saw that this has also occurred in some of my other videos. I’ll try to figure out why and fix that in the future.
ken, your mom needs her sienna back before 7pm bud
@@ringgap Oh, look at you with the trash take. My mom is in the ground on top of a mountain in KY. . I've always wanted to meet one of you exceptionally brave cell phone warriors,... Alone... in a dark alley... With no cell reception...
Client Ray here. Awesome video. The bag of tricks is a Mr Gasket re-curve kit I included so you have some parts to work with, was not aware that the distributor rotor slots would not accommodate the bushings. Welding the slots is the only way to limit the range of the curve. thanks for the quick turn around and I'll let you know how everything goes when I get it installed in the new engine.
Así es. Tiene que ser el original
Can you do a video on how this effect tune port injection engine?
Watching that distributor spin at 6000 rpms had me anticipating disaster. Have you ever had the counterweights come off the posts while being tested? Just my safety background, I would have made a lexan shield that folds down covering the top of the distributor for my piece of mind.
Boy i thought I was in third bread again!
I know I'm almost a year late, Hope you changed the smoke detector battery. I'll be hearing the chirp for the rest of the day.
Thank you for this video. Great info! (Please replace your smoke alarm battery - I started looking for the problem here!)
Same here. Lol
If you would have started off on an Excel advance curve kit it would have all the bushings in the springs and everything cartoon that HEI distributor perfect.
You got a lot to learn about HEI ignition I'm 65 and I ve built so many HIE SIN MY TIME. And I see your mistakes
Giveaway was when he kept calling the cam a football
I'll say that the advance weights available in the aftermarket are poor design, and I'd believe they're designed for the least common denominator not to ping. I'm surprised someone hasn't started repopping these with how available CNC water jetting is.
Can you redo a boat one
Great Video, I was wondering at 13:12 of the video you indicated that the advance was 16 degrees at 2800, But when i look at the scale, it looks like 8 degrees. Earlier in the video you said that each big line was 10 degrees, but the scale would indicate 5 degrees. Why is this different. Thank you
I love this channel newbie here
Good, like all your videos!
Any suggestions on where to buy these materials in bulk?
Excellent mate, always great to watch your videos
Is M&H still in business?
Excellent video mate. However, I was hoping you would follow up the video on the effects of quicker advance by replacing the little springs to lighter ones on points distributors.
Nice job. I had my carburetor rebuilt by a pro and he didn’t mess with the choke one bit. I ended up setting it all myself. I enjoyed this, and I’m also enjoying your distributor videos. Thanks!
This is the first time I have actually seen a distributor machine in use, and it shows me I have no idea what my advance curve is for my GM crate basic 350 engine. I thought I had a good understanding of the weights and the FOOTBALL.....wrong again. After all these years, I must enroll on HEI 101 school again. Any suggestions?
Good video my brother
Awesome 63 Vette
Very informative video thank you! BTW your smoke detector battery needs changing.
Where are you located. Would like to send my distributor to set up curve and advance.
Hi Frank. I’m in Southern Oregon. My website is www.gasandspark.com. It includes my services and contact info.
Have you locked the distributor and used a programmable MSD box to make a timing curve? You can even connect a map sensor and make it work like a vacuum advance too.
