  1. So i just finished assembling my l28 and started it. the motor sounded like it was misfiring so i checked the orientation of the oil shaft.

     

     

    The big side was pointing towards the front at TDC, so i dropped the pump and made it so that the small side was facing the front at roughly 11:25 orientation.

     

    I reassembled everything and the dizzy rotor was pointing towards the front, but the rotor was pointing between the L headlight and coolant hose. The #1 on the cap was ahead of the the rotor (clockwise of it) about one centimeter.

     

    I went to go start it, and all i heard was two loud knocks.

     

    This is MOST likely a IGNITION timing issue, i have double-triple-checked everything.

     

    Possibilities: If i didn't prime the oil pump prior to reassembly, would it cause this to happen? Is my timing still off?

  2. i have an l28et, 81 in my 77. it recently got a wire tuck. when i went to fire it up, it idled fine but, the AFR read 10.

     

    10! HELP!

     

    here are the answers to some of the questions you might have:

    it idles smooth around 800.

    timing is at 21.

    all the sensors have been tested or is new.

     

    my question is, if i accidently switched the wires on the tps (flipflop), will it cause the car to run THIS rich?
