Re: Steering wheel shim
It is almost always a file size issue if you having a problem. Most camera/phone images are way to large to post and need to be reduced to below around 585KB.

Re: 39 No fire at the plugs

Re: 39 No fire at the plugs

Re: No door key

Re: 39 No fire at the plugs
It is explained a little strange in the original post as far as how the distributor and coil is wired. It may just be a typo, but as written, it would not work. Flatjack9 provided the correct...

Re: Crank pulley
The problem is the original mounts are missing and the mounts that are installed are at the top of the frame rails. I'm not sure it might not be easier to relocate the motor mounts to the correct...
