anyone got the details for timing blue engines? my book is for the red 253 and says 6 degrees BTDC. but the blue engine has a plate with A at one end and R at the other and a bunch of lines in between.
any ideas??
cheers.

there should be a large stroke near the R end, look for that then count 6 strokes to the A side.

ok... i've tried and tried and tried tuning that engine.. i swear it hates me. I've put a new rotor button in it, new leads, new plugs and i've checked the firing order a million times, yet it still stalls in reverse!
the book says that plug one on the dizzy needs to be sort of on the passenger side, but my engine will only work if i turn the dizzy so that plug one is almost up against the fire wall.
a mate recommended a place for the auto today.. the bloke said $550 if i take it out myself, which i'm happy to do, but he wanted the motor running almost perfect before he goes near it.. any ideas? i'm really running out of time!
cheers

he said that the shudder is a common thing in trimatics, and it sounds as though it needs a rebuild anyway, but he wanted me to do the timing and get it tuned... if only he knew how hard i've been trying! once i do that he can begin sugery on the auto

^ i was more indicating if the stalling in reverse problem is gear box related, if not you iether need a good tune or you have a vaccume leak.

according to the gearbox guy, definitley NOT a gearbox problem... i'm guessing a vacuum leak.. will investigate tomoz.
