I can get a big pipe wrench on the hub. But then I can't get a good grip on bolt from the side. I think I might need to remove radiator so I can use a impact from the front. Crap

So I tried putting a rag between the gear to prevent it from turning. But soon realized there was nothing holding it together. Now how to I prevent that gear from turning?

Got my parts, really fast and great service. Twiss car parts .ca I went with aluminum for the gear. Got a fuel valve and filter to fix my current leaky valve. My fuel line looks a little wanky so I'm thinking of changing it too. Is there any reason I shouldn't replace with copper? I ask...

Tried emailing from 2 different emails and got a "delivery deamon" failure.

Did some research so I can see that gear is fiber and it's coming apart, missing chunks actually. So should I go fiber again or aluminium? Can anybody recommend a reputable dealer I can buy from in Canada or that ships to Canada. And can someone please tell me If I can remove that front cover...

Well there's your problem. Hard to see because my picture stuck. Partial broken teeth on first pic. I turned into the wobble on second and can see the hub teeth sticking out the side. I'm off in search of a new timing wheel. BTW that part holding the filter is aluminium.

Ok so I found my dimple, it's exactly at 180 of where I original though it was. I confirmed it by looking through the spark plug. If it wasn't for the wrench I would of never seen it trying by pushing it. The timing gear is definitely at a angle, highest spot is at the dimple and lowest is at...

Bough a steel 5/16 rod this morning a made a new timing pin. Found my dimple its 180 degrees off where I thought it was. My timing wheel is at angle, that has me confused. I have a few things to do this morning so I'll get back to it this afternoon. Should I open it up to take a look at the...

Here's a pic, ya my oil filter attaches there. My gap is good I have already checked, I also gapped my sparks to. 035 yesterday while I was at it. Points are conducting fine, and my testing light goes on and off just like it should at the correct rotor position as points close and open. The...

Mine is different, my oil filter connects there. Mind you I'm typing this from my bed and will confirm tomorrow morning.

Ok I'm back. Sorry life got in the way so I haven't done much on the truck. I did add marvel mistery oil a few times and cranked the starter a few rotations to spread it around. It really helped because when I checked today I had movement in my valves, sticking a bit but alot better. So today I...

Anyone know where I can buy/order a timing Wrench. The nu hex website doesn't ship to Canada. And every Canadian site is out of stock for them. I just found a deep 1 3/8 socket I think will work, I might have to make a handle but I'm getting tired of pushing her around. 1crosscut good idea...

It's 6v and battery is 6v and positive goes straight to the frame. I've include the up skirt pic you guys want so badly. Lol Timing pin is in all the way, it's been grinded into a point and easily falls in place. I just pushed her for a few rotations and that valve is moving but not going...

Are you kindling me, this is a great thread. I'm actually having fun diagnosing this truck while learning alot. When I spoke with the previous owner he mentioned having alot of trouble timing the truck. He said he changed that distributor body with one from a mode t (in French t and b do sound...

Ok I think I understand, I towed it to my place this week to be able to work on it. I have a very long driveway so tomorrow with some patience I will get some help and push her for a few slow rotations and really look at the timing in detail. I've been looking at that valve since I noticed it...

So what you guys are saying is the points should close just before the brass tab hits the #1 pin? And they should open before it leaves the brass tab, it should be just opening when centered on the brass tab? So the spark happens when it opens? Sorry for all the questions, I'm the kind of...

The rotor goes counter clockwise, In my picture the brass tab right hand edge is inline withe the #1 and the points close. In the other picture the brass tabs left hand edge is inline with the #1 and the points are opening. So as the rotor turns counter clockwise and the spark lever is fully...

Thanks for the pic, I just checked and that's exactly what I've got. I replaced the coil with that one while troubleshooting, the other one was wired the same way. If I remember correctly it's a oil filled one and it's possible it got switched around at some point by the garage who worked on...

So as pictured (distributor rotor right hand edge on the #1 piston pin) The points should be closed and just about to open? With spark retarder all the way up. Positive is towards the drivers side, on the right. Negative is toward the passenger, on the left.

While I was moving/pushing the truck to set my timing pin I noticed a valve in piston #1 that looked like it was open all the time. Inside the piston chamber the pistons are toward the driver side and the valves are towards the passenger side. While standing at the passenger side of the...
