Setting timing and Carb

(1/2) > >>

JSchwinn:
Hey guys I need a huge favor.... I just changed out the engine in my J10 and have 0 clue how to set the timing and carb....  I took the #1 plug out and turn the engine by hand till I feel the compression, set it to true dead center and set the dizzy to the #1 plug.  When I turned the engine over is backfired into the carb... assumed it was out 180 so i took the dizzy out and turned the engine over 360 and still no luck....  I'm in a time crunch bc Im using the truck in my engagement photos this sunday.... can some please come help me in Gales Ferry this week.... will to buy pizza and beer

Big Chuck:
360 engine? Turn the dizzy 180?

JSchwinn:
With the vacuum port it really can only sit where it is. 

skibum:
Make sure firing order if correct

JSchwinn:
double and triple checked.... I honestly just need an extra hand that has more knowledge than me to get this sucker going.... tonight im going to put a cork into the #1 plug and turn the engine till it pops and adjust the dizzy to the #1 plug.
