The jumping to 12v is what you do when you set initial timing with the "Delco EST Voyager "Distributor installed.
(as opposed to the "Thunderbolt V" which you Ground as previously stated )
sounds like "TB V" without knock sensor !) Yes ground the purple/white wire to stop the "TB V "from adjusting timing while you set the base-timing by turning the distributor .
From my understanding of the pickup module : if it fails to produce pulses ,no spark is generated which would cause rough running rather than lack of advance!?! I’ ve seen some threads on the net where people report having trouble getting their TB V out of the “base timing “ mode .. which I...
so I’ve been trying to find a solution to why the engine’ behaving so difficult
to start, hesitations at acceleration , initially I was suspecting it was related to carb and fuel.. To do things in the right order I got a timing light (and eventually the special distributor clampdown tool )
As...
So I’ ve now run engine on external tank ,blown through the fuel tank vent and also replaced ASV. fuel is getting to carb so that’s no issue anymore.
However Engine behaves hesitant when giving throttle going from idle to planing speed . From what I read this could be related to carb’s power...
