burgerman:
Had a bad day today --  Started off getting the disco to run better, Now wont run at all  :evil:
   Had to replace the dizzy so wound the engine to TDC and located no 1 plug ?? Standing infront of the car looking at the engine ( did a lot of that today :roll: ) is it the front right hand side plug ??      I have a spark, compression, and loads of fuel, but she wont run  :x   Im kinda at a wits end what to do next unless i have timed her up wrong  :doh:

Cheers for the replies

burgerman:

Note to self --- Buy a haynes manual  :lol:
 
   Am i right in saying that if its on Tdc then it can only be on no1 cylinder ??

Sorry I got carried away with somthing else and just hit the post button, anyway it's the cylinder arrangment.

To time it up properly it's got to be on TDC on no1 pot. Then line up the rotor arm near to no1 post on the cap before dropping in the distributor. Don't forget to allow for the arm moving when dizzy drive slots into the skew gear.

Range Rover Blues:
The crank will be at TDC for No1 and for another (I don't remember the firing order) but the crank turns twice for the dizzy's once, so You could be 180 degrees out on the dizzy.

You really need a Haynes because the lead routing is also important, you need to separate leads 5 & 7 with lead 3, cross arcing from 5 to 7 will damage the engine.
