| Post subject: | Rebuilt Slant |
Hello all - I got my rebuilt Slant re-assembled and back in the 62' Dart. I established TDC by using a plug stop in the #1 cylinder. I made the two marks and took the mid-point to be TDC. Installed the distributor with the rotor pointing to the #1 plug. It will crank and turn fast like it wants to go, but it won't catch. Occasionally as I release the key and the starter stops it will slightly cough out of the carb. I have spark and fuel. What would you do next? Much thanks - Jerry in Frisco TX |

Many times when you think the distributor rotor is at #1 cylinder it is actually 1 tooth ahead or behind... due to yoir slanted viewing angle of the rotor / distributor. Try reinstalling the Dist.. moving it 1 tooth forward first.. if that does not work then try 2 teeth back. Good luck. Greg |

When you checked for #1 at TDC are you sure it was on compression, and not exhaust? You could possibly be 180 degrees out.

1) If You have the valve cover on, & don't plan on pulling it, pull the plugs from cyls. #1.I got my rebuilt Slant re-assembled and back in the 62' Dart.

What would you do next? Much thanks - Jerry in Frisco TX Put the marks on TDC, then puff some compressed air into each just enough to hear which one is bleeding air into the exh.&int. Once You have #6 bleeding, You have it right. 2) If the cover is, or can come off(or if You can see #1 intake rocker through opening), watch for #1 int. to close. The next TDC is the correct one. 3) Put the timing mark on the desired base setting + 2deg., check the dist. rotor position. Once it's pointed at #1, if it's points, use an ohmmeter starting with the dist. body rotated clockwise(timing retarded, points closed), then turn the body counter clockwise untill the ohmmeter signals the points are open. It will start. I had a '72 383 that was running recently that suddenly was extremely hard to start & keep running. Showed good spark cranking, condensor had failed, wasn't high mileage unit but it went. If it's electronic, just line up the tooth with the pick-up core. Good luck & let Us know how it's goin'. |

The cough on key release has me wondering about the ballast resistor or contacts in the key. Hot wire the coil and see what happens. |
