I Need Some Help

I just put champion spark plugs wires, champion Cap aand rotor, and ngk SPrk plug.

 

Know my 1977 corolla bogs out but has alot more power, can tell me why this might be happening?

Set the timing on the distributor.

 

Once you've done that, adjust your fuel mixture by screwing the idle mixture screw in until the car starts to idle funny (don't screw it all the way home tight as it will damage the end of it thats inside the carb) and then unwind 1.5-2 turns.

 

Let us know how you go :D

What should I adjust the timing too?

[Raven]

If you want a little more performance, I'd run at 10 degrees BTDC.

thanks Raven

Also check that the points are good and the gap is correct. Can loose heaps of power out of incorrently set points. :D

right at the bottom of the carb on the strut tower side. the screw itself looks the colour of brass and has a spring underneath.

when i did mine this morning i screwd it in till it sounded like it was gonna conk out (because your just about stoping the flow of petrol) the screwed it out (counter clockwise) 1 1/2 to 1 1/3 turns. now the tacho and pertol gauges don't race each other :D

 

Also ho do you check the points gap??

points gap = take off dizzy cap and turn motor over by hand. ON the distributor shaft you will notice it is square shaped.

 

You want the points to open up on one of the cams by turning the motor over by hand and stopping it when the points open up.

 

Then set your points gap. I can't remember what the gap is though.

 

Someone got a workshop manual to specify what the points gap is meant to be?

[DearmanKE]

yes anyone got the points gap? i need it stock 4k

[Corollaspeedracer]

Can anyone tell me what the configuration of the Dist. cap and wired, and which spark plug is number1.

 

if anyone has diagram or pic of there engine that would help , heaps

 

thanks

This is the settings for a 3K (sorry thats all i could find)

Firing order: 1342

Points Gap: 0.016-0.020inch

Timing: 8deg BTDC

Hope this helps a bit :lolcry:

 

Cheers

Ok i this'll sound a bit dumb but how do you set the timing? Do you line up the timing mark on the timin cover and turn the dizzy round till the rotor lines up with #1 on the dizzy cap? never had to do it before but this seems like the way to do it.
