@brighteyefilms i have a 1915cc, 009 distributor. I was kind of guessing what the clicking noise was. Its how some military vehicles click over to get the electrical system ready. Sorry that's the only thing i know how to compare it to. Anyway, my bug never shows the 2 lights for "accessory on" only 1 light, then the engine will turn over past that.
@brighteyefilms I just did what this video said and it worked! My car starts fine! but now im idling REALLY low and its misfiring all over the place and now everything else seems wrong.... what do i do!? please respond ASAP!

@TheDozens4 Sounds like your plug wires are on the wrong parts of the cap.

I'm having a problem setting the timing. I think it may be because my bug doesn't really have an accessory on key placement. As soon as you turn the key a little bit it starts to click. I'm pretty sure it's the electronic fuel pump, could be wrong though. Anyway I can't get the circuit to complete and make the light come on. I just had to kind of guess by watching the belt run and adjust that way.

@joeylk4d4 The issues you have really are not related to one another, fuel pump to timing?? Doesn't sound right. What motor do you have in there? Distributor?
