So took a couple minutes today after work to work on the Polara. I have solved my no spark problem, new coil, ammeter wired together. However, the ignition switch is bad for sure, still waiting on the new one to come in. But I got to checking,
@toolmanmike is definitely correct. Timing is WAY off. When the piston is at TDC in the compression stroke, the rotor was pointing at number 7. So I adjusted it to point at the number one position per the fsm. Starting cracking. Still didn’t fire, has fuel, spark indicators showed spark at all 8 cylinders, Checked timing again, this time when at TDC on the compression stroke, rotor was pointing number 8. So I thought I just have left the dizzy loose, nope it was tight. So I reset it again, cranked again, coughed, tried to fire but stopped. Tried again, nothing. So I popped the cap off, rotor now point towards number 2 when it’s at TDC. So I left the cap off and hit the remote starter, rotor rotates a bit, then hangs up, then starts moving again.
im thinking timing chain is jacked or stretched. Thoughts?
