Basic Engine Building DVD - Chapter 53: Ignition

The second part of the "Ignition" section shows you how to find the initial timing of your engine, with or with out a top dead center whistle. You need to know your firing order and distributor rotation direction. Then we'll show you how to set the distributor cap right, using the #1 cylinder in your firing order.

BoxWrench.net is a community and resource designed for automotive enthusiasts. The Basic Engine Building DVD is over three hours of engine building that covers everything from removal and disassembly to final assembly and engine start-up. This is the ultimate DVD for any home mechanic or engine enthusiast that wants to see a complete rebuild from Teardown to Start-Up. This video can be used to learn how to work on almost any type of internal combustion engine including V8, V6, Straight 8, in-line 6 and even 4 cylinder engines. All of the interactive features and menus will not work over YouTube.

This video is great for people interested in car repair, car care, and restoration. As well as hot rods, muscle cars, performance parts, and boosting horsepower.

Good video, but this stuff is so obvious.

[BoxWrench]

@SkylarkGSX It's a good thing that you find these concepts simple, but if you look around the comments here or look through the discussion forum at our site, you'll find out that the theory and practice behind distributor wiring and ignition timing is confusing to a lot of people.

If you've got the know-how, you can contribute your own ideas and maybe help solve some questions for others by keeping an eye on comments here...

any 1 know a site i can check recommended torque on the bolts for my motor

[BoxWrench]

@robert30319 We have standard recommended torque specs for a fair amount of V8 engines on our site. Be sure to also click the link if you're using ARP Bolts as they have separate torque specs.

On any of our site pages. you'll see a link for 'Engine Specs' on the left.

does the rotor pass the tower only on compression stroke or on compression and exaust stroke?

[BoxWrench]

@councilman1993 The crank is spinning at double the speed of the camshaft. The rotor and distributor are driven by the camshaft. So, one revolution of the dist. rotor is caused by one revolution of the camshaft and the crank will have spun around twice during the same period of time...

All of that means that the rotor will pass the tower for each cylinders spark event, only during the compression stroke.

You all have great videos.

@IROCwarriorAMC88 You goofy prick, it's obvious you know shit about "dizzy" install on a GM engine. It's a tooth off. The top of the "dizzy" should be parallel with the back of the motor and the vacuum advance should point straight ahead. You're frikin' dizzy!!

[IROCwarriorAMC88]

@Mrphatbastard1: Do us a favor, stay off the meth and come back in a few years when you can see straight. I watched this video closely and they did a good job. Shut the fuck up please and stop trolling their videos.

[Mrphatbastard1]

@IROCwarriorAMC88 Look again Einstein!!

[IROCwarriorAMC88]

@Mrphatbastard1: The way they have the dizzy in is correct. What the hell are you talking about??? Stay off the meth.

[Mrphatbastard1]

This is stupid, you have the distributor in wrong. You're so full of shit. Don't you know there are people out there that actually pay attention to this bull!!

[Mrphatbastard1]

Before you install spark plug wires you must set the timing first. WHY???

[jonathan99786]

If you don't like this video is because you're such a dumb ass, I 100 % of amazing information... Love this video guys....

[iLOVENATURE2011]

amazing video...understanding the principles of engine ignitions is made easy through this video...

[SuperEpiphonelespaul]

thank you so much for your help i really screwed up but i am in a better situation now thanks again.
