swapped 1986 engine into 1989 vehicle - ignition timing seems off 200

the tranny is from an '88 240 we don't know if it works yet - need the engine to run in order to check that. We switched the bellhousing so that we could mount the CPS into it.

the flex plate is from the '89 as well as the crank position sensor so it should be a good ignition trigger unless the CPS broke in our switching it over (potentially true because it had bare wires exposed going into the sensor at the base of the sensor - this part was working before we removed it from the '89 to put it on the bellhousing. We switched in a good looking CPS from another junkyard car so it is not known good either).

the distributor is from the '89 - we abandoned the distributor from the
86 with the Hall Sensor.

you are not confused from ignorance - it's a bit complicated keeping track of everything so I appreciate you trying to follow all we've done and check our tracks because something isn't right.

now it is not getting spark so I'm going back to check through those things and I may take my known good CPS out of my running 240 to confirm that.

thanks!

Jack
