| 7.4l tune-up
I started out the day out to tune up my 454. I have worked on many engines, but this is the craziest distributor cap-coil arrangement I can remember.
As I took it apart I was amazed at the way the whole thing was made....the coil mounted in the cap top, the wiring plugged through it, and the way it was set up. Took a short time to replace, but I was careful to set it up correctly, wiring , rotor,and all.Missed replacing the condensor, but I will next time.
Then to the plugs...after crawling behind the front wheel, the plugs are very accessible...unfortunately neither of the 4 spark plug sockets I own would work, as the recess in the block is too small- so I guess a visit to NAPA is in order, tommorow.
I noticed while under there that the shocks are held on by what is not actually a "nut" but some threaded ring at the top? Any suggestions on taking it off? Vise grips?
The feel of turning the key to start the engine after replacing the cap and all is a charge, especially when it runs so smoothly.
The lousy rain in Atlanta is really holding me back on all this..
