Re: MSD Streetfire Dizzy

In any case, I have a bit of work ahead of me.

I have to remark the balancer before I do any of this. I will be getting a piston stop to make things easier. When finding TDC this way, will it matter which stroke the piston is on? My understanding is rotate the engine until piston touches stop, then reverse until piston touches stop again and the difference in distance is TDC. I imagine the deeper the stop is into the chamber, the less rotating I will need to do making it easier to find TDC. I have not read anything about where the piston needs to be initially to find TDC this way.

Thanks.

EDIT> On a side note, I became curious about the condition of the current dizzy. I pulled the rotor off and found the weights to be flopping around. There were springs, but attached wrong. The weights themselves do not have spring posts. Plus, the dizzy gear is pretty worn. I can jigle the shaft around a bit. Can't wait to get this new stuff in. It will prolly get done next weekend.
