Remember, the rotor is tuning counter clockwise as viewed from the top. To advance you move the distributor clockwise to retard it's CCW.
Hmm, I wonder if those that have only seen digital timepieces, such as on there cell phones, would know what clockwise is?
Trust me when I say, Im old enough to know CCW vs. CW(big grin). Firing order same as my GMC. Did not know CCW for Pontiac.
I did find #2 & #4 swapped, has been fixed. Thank you ped and BB428!!
Ran better but still seemed off. I found this link.... https://firstgenfirebird.org/forums...p;Words=don-t&Search=true#Post317504 I re-stabbed distributor, CCW 1 tooth. Vacuum can now sits between the heater hose and carb. Fired up, idled better, actually ran decent on a 8 mile road trip. Shut it down, waited a second or 2, tried an immediate start. Took 3 or so revolutions before she fired.
I think I still need to play with the timing, it's got a shudder now and again at idle.
Edelbrock carb is next to tweak. While it's much better than before, still have a fuel smelling exhaust. Might be connected to the slow start on refire after road trip? Never played with an Edlebrock.
Thank you. Very much appreciated....don t.
PS.... I had a bucket of water and a damp rag in case of a carb fire. Never happened.
