Hint 200 1985

posted by  someone claiming to be CB on  Mon Nov 19 20:26 CST 2018 [RELATED]

The only way this condition cud have been set up ---- for so long.

somewhere in the Past, when the timing belt was replaced, the gear that runs the distributor...the one on the right of the three that the belt needs to "be on the Mark" was OFF. When whoever, buttoned the thing up and tried to start it...OOPPS/

so rather than rip it apart again and redo the belt, he/she/it/XXXXX/OOOOO/ZZZZ adjusted the distrib timing to get it to run. Fortunately for (not sure of the proper pronoun) there was just enough space in that mounting arc to let that happen.

As to Why, 1)the car started to run poorly for you. 2) it then failed to run/start/sputter as recently as you began these threads.

Odin only knows.
