This a continuation of the no start problem in our 82 240DL Chrysler ignition, K-jet beast.
Last week we determined , that the Hall sending unit was at fault so we found a good looking one on E-Bay, hunkered down and waited for the newish distributor, cap and rotor to arrive.
Seemed like the the removal and installation were going to be relatively painless.
Well not so, the Original distributor, did not want to leave it's home of 30 years w/o a fight, so it sorta came out in pieces. This effectively did away with the setup we had prepped to be able to re seat the new distributor in its proper place ready to run.
It ran at first but ran with a lot of smoke, and some hesitation in pedal response.
We had lost our markers for where the , rotor needed to be positioned, so we took off the timing belt and did a static timing. So we would know where to place the rotor. Didn't work wouldn't start, thought it was set to run on #4 instead #1 . RE did it and still no joy. It is backfiring in the intake manifold, and refusing to start.
I am open to suggestions and comments.
Daughter graduates college tomorrow, so I won't get a chance to turn a wrench on it till late afternoon.
All help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks as always
Paul
