Hi Guys

The bolt on the left that holds the distributor to the block has a slot so the distributor can be turned slightly.

Do I need to loosen the slot screw at the base of the distributor to adjust timing?

I have been able to move the distributor shaft 180 degrees.

All help is appreciated.

Hi Guys

Your advice helps me a lot. Now I know my next step and what to do if that does not work, what to do next.

This means I should get it done in one attempt which is what I was hoping for.

Once again you came through in spades as we say.

Hi Guys

I need help to remove the distributor on my 54 Patrician. It is installed 180 degrees off. Can someone tell me how to loosen it so I can raise the distributor to rotate it?

Thanks for all help.

Just an update. Car turns out to be 6 volt negative ground. Finally got spark. Now starting motor has a broken spring. Great feeling to make progress.

Hi Guys

Which forum can I post jpg pictures on?

I have found 2 loose wires under the dash. One is black and it appears to be hooked to the ignition starter switch. It appears to also be one part of a set that holds a fuse?

The second wire comes from the engine bay into the driver area and has a metal clip on the end. A tightened screw would hold it in place. Same idea as the wires connected to the coil.

Both these wouldn't connect would they? Just a thought. Will post pictures when I know where I can post


Thanks

Brian
