[QUOTE="gvee, post: 460984, member: 14750"] Only managed an hour tonight and it was a mixed bag. I decided to just turn the key and see if it would start. It was catching but crapping out almost straight away. So I bang the timing light on and get my dad to turn the key and of course it starts first turn and runs just fine. So obviously when I timed it last night I didn't put the #1 lead back on the dizzy cap well enough :roll: Plugs back on and restarted. It was definitely revving too high. Quick look at the linkage and I noticed that it wasn't returning back far enough... curious. Any ideas? Manually pushing the linkage back to the idle stop caused the van cut out. Back on with timing light, vac pipe off, looked a little advanced (what do I know?!). Tweak, test, pretty fine. Hope to get back down there on Saturday and/or Sunday and get to give it a bit of a test drive (after sorting the clutch wingnut, wheel back on, valance, bumper, done). Mixed emotions but still half a step forward :D [/QUOTE]
