I'm trying to start my freshly rebuilt motor and it keeps backfiring through the carb. Am I 180deg out on my distributor? I think that's it. Please help me if you can. Wylde Bill |

Most often the marks on a timing set line up with TDC firing of cylinder #6. If you line up the distributor with the engine in that position you will be 180° off. |

I lined up the marks and set it at #1, so I must be 180 out. Thanks, Wylde Bill |

I turned the distributor 180, pumped the gas once, and she fired so quick it startled me. Only problem, it seems its leaking water out of a couple manifold studs. I guess I didn't get them tightened all the way. I'll have to go back and retighten all of them.At least she's running though. Wylde Bill |

You may need to back the studs out and use a gasket sealer or lock-tite on them. |

I'm going to do that hopefully tomorrow. I guess I'll have to pull the manifolds to do it, or can I get away with just doing one at a time? I don't think I could get to the bottom ones though. Wylde Bill |

| Post subject: | Pulled manifolds |
Well, I pulled the manifolds today and pulle dall the studs out and put gasket sealer on them. the only problem is, as I was pulling one of them out, it slipped out of my fingers and right down the exhaust pipe. I don't know how I'm going to get it out. I got a 2' grabber, but it doesn't reach. I really dont want to leave it in there to rattle around. Any suggestions? My only other option is to cut the pipe and I really don't want to do that. Any help is greatly appreciated. Wylde Bill |

It's gone. Let it go. Chances are you'll never hear it. |

| Post subject: | Manifold torque settings |
My FSM says to torque the manifold nuts to 10foot lbs. That doesn't seem tight enough. I know the manifold has to expand, but is that what all of you usually torque yours to? Wylde Bill |

On the 'stack' 10-12 ft lbs is all you can get, any more and you can catch and crack a manifold since it cant' 'expand/slide'... if you have duals/ split manifolds you can tighten it up a bit more (like 20 ft lbs...)-D.Idiot |

| Post subject: | Started her up today |
She sounds good, but I can hear the stud in my exhaust pipe as clear as a bell. Right now it's directly under the drivers seat. Hopefully it will slide back to the Cherry Bomb and I won't hear it any more. Oh well. I still need to hot lash the valves, but it already sounds a million times stronger than it was before. I'm stoked. Wylde Bill |
