    If you go here the instructions are attached to each ignition type when you go into it 
    Thanks for the info, but the dizzy is not the problem. Basically I'm after a wiring diagram for a engine stand. The gauges I need tacho, temp, pressure, starter, alternator? To run in a cam.
    Do I need a alternator? Most diagrams I find online dont have one.
    Thanks

    Hey guys. Quick question.

    I'm replacing a rear seal rope to a rubber seal, but what do I do with this pin?

    Any other work done on the engine..?  High compression, Stall speed, diff ratio, etc..
     
    What do you want the engine to do?  Drag Commy's off at the lights.? Cruise all day? Drive daily with reasonable fuel economy?
    What I have found since pulling it apart is 020 bore. New timing gear. Standard iron heads ported. RPM air gap manifold ported. extractors 4 into 1.
    Sound like a v8 mainly with a bit of extra go

    if it had new lifters, I'd say someone replaced them but didn't run them in, (same as when you run in a cam) which leeds to wearing lifters & cam,
    My Bro did it to his XF ute, new lifters on old cam didn't run them in, all lobes where worn down but also wore off 4 cam lobes worst had was cyl 6 that I measured at .140"/.118" valve lift best cyl 1 ex with .360", standard is around .420". But is a good excuse for a nice new cam
    Hey guys
    Just thought I'd show you the cam.
    Spot on with the comments
    Any recommendations for a new cam?
    Nothing to extreme and reasonable priced 0fb372c2e12fd23a15f09dfed1970e9d.jpg325b32512d5532dcd5080d75f93b5937.jpgb7bc48089b2571b1ee1d456156f32c90.jpg

    I reckon it did not have any lube on it when it was run in. Very unlikely to be pushrods, springs or preload when all the rest are ok. I had a rebuilt engine do that and took 13K before it failed and out of warranty by a year!
    I didn't know much about this engine when I bought it except what they told me. But some previous replies jogged my memory. First thing I did was to pressure test the cylinders. So all going well until number 6 (the lifter in question)and no pressure at all. I did this twice and no pressure thinking that the gauge is not working, third time I tried it came up 140 psi and thought no more about it.
    So is it possible the lobe was damaged at this time.

    Hey guys

    I had a problem starting up a 302 after it had been sitting for a while. Not sure how long, but was told it had new lifters and heads had been remanufactured. So after putting it on a engine stand and starting it up, it would only run for about 2 minutes and then stall. After pulling it apart and not finding any thing wrong until I pulled out the lifters all were good except one which is stuffed.

    Any answers why this would happen will be appreciated

    I think my jigger only has 2 wires. I obviously dont know much distributors hall effect jiggers and now pips.

    I took it out and dismantled it and their is a lot of play in the shaft so its off to the wreckers.

    Choke is good thanks chestnut

    Yea changed the coil as I thought that would be the problem

    But still the same as soon as it reaches 90 degrees (on my gauge) it stops dead and wont start again.

    So I will pull the dizzy and check out sparky dave idea The hall effect sensors is that the stator?
