FO-4 I&T (Remastered Ver.1.2 ) 05-24-2015
5 megohms @ 210° F.
55. TIMING TO ENGINE. Adjust
breaker contacts to .015 gap by
loosening the two hold-down screws
(Fig. FO44) and turning the
eccentric screw. Place a scale
against the tang on the wide side
of the distributor shaft as shown
in Fig. FO45 then rotate the shaft
until the scale is 1/4 inch from
the near edge of the small mounting
hole as shown. With shaft in this
position, the contacts should be
just starting to open. Move the
adjustment plate on the left side
of the distributor down to advance
the timing, up to retard the
timing. If proper timing is not
obtained on the first attempt, turn
shaft backward ½ turn to eliminate
backlash, then repeat the check.
56. Recommended static timing is top center which will be automatically obtained
regardless of crankshaft position when the distributor is installed to the engine
providing that the basic timing of the distributor was correctly set at ¼ inch as
outlined in the preceding paragraph. Recommended running timing full advanced is 24
flywheel degrees before TC when engine is running at 2000 rpm or higher. Any
changes in the timing to accommodate different fuels are accomplished by changing
the basic timing, that is by moving the adjustment plate on the left side of the
distributor housing.
57. DISTRIBUTOR
OVERHAUL. Disconnect
ignition coil primary
wire and four spark plug
cables at distributor.
Unsnap coil retainer bail
and distributor cap clips
and remove coil and cap.
Remove two cap screws
holding distributor
housing to engine and
remove distributor unit.
