[72 240z] Distributor / Oil Pump Alignment - I'm off 1 tooth right?


Recommended Posts

Good evening all, 

 

In the process of chasing down a high idle problem, and I decided to check everything was correct at TDC while I waited on some gaskets to come in. 

 

I have the car at TDC, on the compression stroke, both the valves in cylinder 1 are closed (I have the valve cover off to check them), my screwdriver is about halfway through the "lull" to tell me the #1 piston is at it's highest point, and the timing arrow is pointing to the 0 degree mark. 

 

HOWEVER, the keyed shaft (forgive me, I believe it's from the oil pump) from the oil pump to the distributor looks like it's off ~11-13 degrees. There are 32 teeth on the oil pump shaft right? So 1 tooth off would be ~11.25 degrees? 

 

Going to take a look at it this week, but just wanted to show some pictures and see what you all thought.

 

I took the picture, threw it into OnShape, and then threw in the 5 degree line that the FSM calls out as what we're looking for. 

 

Thanks!
