'71 FJ40, '74 2F engine, Fireball ignition
It WAS running, but needed to replace the fireball ignition
Noticed a missing upper O ring on the dizzy
replaced, but it wouldn't let the dizzy drop down...O ring too big....replaced with a better fit.
got the TDC, confirmed with a test stick (fig 1)
The 2F manual shows: to turn the slot to point just past #4 plug (fig 2)
then turn the rotor to point towards #3 plug (fig 3)
when the dizzy is seated, the rotor points towards #4 plug, (fig 4)
Then I static timed it, ground and coil+ with a light
But when I tried to start it, it turns over but backfires
Am I missing something??
tried to remove some pics, but they keep coming back..
