    340 wrong firing order?

    What eyes you have! There' a chrome box to the left of the vacuumthingy yes. I'll shoot from the hip and order a replacement cap from them. The cap burnt in center where the coil fires and the needle is missing, the wire points are cratered and ugly.

    340 wrong firing order?

    Thank you! I must say I love you people. Since its running Ok, I'll go yank all the wires and re-wire, and hope it fires up, and that #1 actually IS #1. I followed the spaghettis earlier, several times, and came to the conclusion that they were all in the right order, several times, but then...

    340 wrong firing order?

    Runs just fine, a little lumpy, but that may be a result of a sticky choke linkage from choke motor to choke flap, runs fine when I get the temp right (no thermostat at the moment). Thanks for the guide, I need to change valve cover gaskets anyway...

    340 wrong firing order?

    Well, now I feel dumb. Haha. I mixed 1 and 3.... with that rectified, the order is the right one it seems.... Well, on another note, with the needle in the dist cap falling out, can I replace with almost any cap? As lo g as it has clips for fastening and not screws? I'm out swimming in deep...

    340 wrong firing order?

    So I duck under the hood and replace sone plugs, removing one wire and installing, so that I do not confuse my brain. But I do by some reason remove two wires, and suddenly I don't know which is which. So I compare to 340 spark order picture. Suddenly, Im more confused. 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 it...

    Edelbrock TM5 thermostat size.

    Hi good people. Before ordering a new thermostat.. anyone know the diameter of the thermostat I need? I've searched around a bit, but have'nt really found anything. The manifold is as stated in topic, an ancient TM5. There isn't really any housing, just the barb for the rad-hose on a flange...
