All hail to Mr. Art Bernstein!
Dude, you are awesome, and I mean that in the most California-laid back way!
As you might surmise, the $450 240DL is alive! All four cylinders, all the timing is correct, and it is because of your advice, guidance, and concern.
It was the bit with the intermediate shaft that I was missing out on. I pulled the balancer anyway to be able to really see what was what. I have my own telescoping shop mirror, so avoided marital peril. Lined that bad boy up, set the tensioner and then went looking for the distributor mark.
Do you know that it is on the OTHER side of the Hall-whatever hookup from the picture you sent (as you said, mine looks different than yours). Set the distributor housing to match the rotor on #1.
Fired it up, and Viola, started like a champ. Purred like a Swedish Kitten. Beautiful!
On with the new accessory belts and all the other crap, and she is on the road!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for all your help on this project! All y'all who contributed. What a great resource!
Ok, now I'm getting too effusive...too many "victory" beers.
Regards,
Bill
