cd1105 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 (edited) So I'm in the middle of a l28et swap into my Late model 260z. The car cranks, gets fuel,spark, but won't. I'm assuming its a timing issues, and would like some verification on a few things. First off is this the 11:25 position of the oil pump rod people on the forums are talking about(using the two distributor bolt holes as a 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock reference)? This IS with the engine at T.D.C compression stroke. This is how the rotor inside the distributor sits when fitted to rod position in the picture above. The rotor is facing the front of the motor toward the driver side headlights. Does the positioning look correct? This is the cap over the distributor. As i am writing this I am kicking my self , because I am looking at another thread that points out the raised portion on the dizzy cap that indicates the #1 spark plug position. If it is the circular dot on the dizzy cap in the picture below, I may have just solved my problem Currently i have the #5 cylinder spark plug wire hooked up to the position closest to the raised circular portion.

JSM Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 (edited) Download the FSM. Page EM-20. BTW, this is from an 1982, but should be the same as an 83. Edited November 7, 2011 by JSM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cd1105 Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 Download the FSM. Page EM-20. That doesn't look like 11:25. And the picture above that one helps , but i'm confused as to where I should be measuring the 11:25 from? The two bolt holes or a vertical line like in the first picture?

Xnke Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Turbo shaft isn't exactly like the non-turbo, apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two bolt holes or a vertical line like in the first picture? Forget the "11:25" and make it look like the pictures from the FSM... I could tell from your first pics that your dist. was off. My rotor points much closer to forward at TDC (like the diagram in the FSM). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSM Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Thank you, will try. What about the circle part on the dizzy cap? Is that where the #1 spark plug wire needs to be? The cap only goes on one way. If the rotor is correct and the cap is correct, don't worry about the dot. Just read the FSM. It is your best friend. http://www.xenons130.com/reference.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
