``` got a reaction from Valvebouncer in 12 slot centre caps?
I some times look at them and think that they probably have been cut!

``` got a reaction from bear351c in 1981 XD Falcon Fuel Pump
Can anybody tell me how much movement there should be on a mechanical fuel pump?
The one on my sons 81 xd 4.1 looks like it is the original and I am not sure if it's working properly.
The video shows how much movement there is of the 'arm'..just not sure if it should more or if it looks right?
cheers.

Thanks ESPsix, Good info there, one of the reasons i like this forum.

Sure, just make sure the flap inside the snorkel is in the cold air position.

It's not a vacuum switch, it's a vacuum delay valve.
black/brown=2 sec min, 5 sec max.
black/green=9 sec min, 20 sec max.
theyre common on all XD/E/F's, just get the right Color one, and going by the workshop manual, the black side goes to vacuum source.
although, non of these things are needed unless you are hooking up all the emission gear.
and the one your looking for just helps warm the motor up quicker, by getting it to suck hot air off the exhaust manifold.

rattle cans ! They came up real nice.... Should be well proud of them. I rattle canned my engine and accessories, 'cos I'm a cheap bastard. Hit 'em with some clear coat, if ya haven't, otherwise any fuel or oil leak will peel the paint off.

``` got a reaction from bear351c in TDC and rotor arm position
Still faffing about with this
Which pushrods are you referring to..just the front two?
-
``` reacted to bear351c in TDC and rotor arm position
Yep, just like that....... Lift the dizzy about an inch, twist it left or right and re-insert. Make sure you're at TDC and the harmonic balancer should be around where you set the timing. 8-10 deg BTDC. Then the spikes will line up, and wherever the rotor is make that No.1 spark lead, then add the rest anticlockwise.

So this is how I had it set up but, as I say, had to turn the dizzy as far clockwise as I could and vacuum ended up at 7 o'clock ish.
If I am understanding you right, I need to lift the dizzy out enough to rotate it (anti-clockwise?) and line the two sets of spiky wheels up then set the new position of the rotor arm to no.1 plug lead and the rest to follow?

cheers for that..might seem an obvious, simple question but having never done it before didn't want to risk any possible damage!

``` got a reaction from CHESTNUTXE in TDC and rotor arm position
If I am hand cranking the engine over..which way am I turning it as you look at it from the front..clockwise or anti-clockwise?
I am going to pull the rocker cover off and try to get the tdc more accurate.

or a 351c with 302c heads running on crap fuel turns backwards when turning the key offsounds like a kangaroo going thru a mincer
-
``` reacted to gerg in TDC and rotor arm position
As a general convention, nearly all engines turn clockwise from the "front" ie from the opposite side to its "flywheel" side. There are exceptions but very few. Some aero and marine engines can be configured to turn backwards for balancing out twin setups.
Your useless info for the day (you're welcome)

Clockwise if you are facing the engine from the front of the car.
