By the way I mamaged to get the bolt off with the oil filter housing in place.....becasue I went through hell doing that job twice (little rant I had about gaskets molecularly bonding to engine blocks) and I did that before I had the loss of power issue that had me swap an IP searching for the problem. I tried to avoid pulling that filter housing again until absolutely neccesary.

Congrats on a job well done Brian! Just for SaG, you could also try bumping it up to 14 ATDC while you've still got the RIV. I'm currently running 13 ATDC on the TD.

Congratulations on a job well done! I'm sure you had fun (but at times wanted to break things) and learned quite a bit!

You know my solution to air in the system, correct? Get a horseradish bottle and a length of hose. Fill the bottle with about 2 ounces of fluid and put one end of the hose in the fluid. Open the bleeder one turn and connect the hose. Get in the vehicle and press the pedal 10 times. Get out and refill the m/c. Get back in and press the pedal 5 more times. Get out and close the bleeder without removing the hose. Remove the hose and fully tighten the bleeder. Repeat for the other three wheels. (Fill m/c prior to next wheel) Pressure bleeder not required. When you mash that pedal, you force all the air right on through the lines. |

Thanks Casey, I owe you big time. I want to leave it exactly at 15 ATDC for the moment because I promised one of the members to calibrate his pulse timing device. He needs a vehicle with a known setpoint and this one is going to be the one. That RIV tool is simply fantastic. You can set timing in 15 minutes. 10 of those minutes are spent trying to get exactly to 15 ATDC, without a helper. John, I took my sweet time with it and did a lot of thinking before each step. I certainly feel much more competant with the 617, that's for sure. |

Brian next time you are around we should meet up I'd love to see this SD!
Hit Man X as Brian said mash the pedal. Bleeding brakes with two people is cake but you can do it by yourself. I use the old pumping of the pedal method every spring and it works perfectly.

ok then
so on the calipers you are a lot like me. you change one when you can and two when you can.
i went out in the garage and found the ip from my 74 240 (this is the one that was fixed by replacing the sleeve with the splines worn out with one from a sixties gasser mech fi ). i took off the sleeve and attempted to count the splines. i was too lazy to count them all but a close estimate is 60... so then each tooth is about 6 degrees. so if you have a total desired adjustment of 15 degrees to get to the center you would need to go one tooth. more or less. good luck with it. tom w

6 degrees on the pump would be 12 degrees on the crankshaft. I don't think the pump will give you this much adjustment. I noted, above, that I fixed my particular problem by loosening that lower mounting bolt. The pump easily moved closer to the engine. In fact, I could probably move it another degree or two. |
