:D did you get engine running?

[gunner1x1]

Yes mate, but it just does not sound right. I have tried moving the distributor to see if nipping up the timing would do any good, but it dos'nt. I know that you said if the top notch to notch are not exactly spot on it does not really matter, but when the bottom notch and pointer are as they should be, the nearest I can get the top is about 10mm. The thing that is pissing me off is when the belt is off I can set them both perfectly, but when I put the belt back on the top is out.

What I cannot understand on my own Nova the notches etc stay where you put them. Any advice?

Another job she did not tell me about is the rad which I have had to change.

well, what i don't understand is, that if you time the crank pulley up, then time the cam pulley up, and fit the belt over those 2 pulleys with no slack between them on the rad side of the engine, and then tension it up on the water pump, it stays perfectly timed.

10mm out is a tooth at least.

I don't know mate, it is driving me mad. As I said with my own Nova, if I line the top and bottom up and then put the belt back on they stay where they are.

I have been messing about with it all day and now the pointer and bottom notch are spot on, but on the top, the right hand side of one tooth touches the notch on the backplate and on the other side of the tooth is the notch in the sprocket. So it is now about one tooth out. I s this unusable until I can sus out what is wrong?
