Hello everyone,
Does anyone have a video or diagram for my distributor? I'm just looking to loosen it to adjust the timing.
Thanks.

 

Just loosen the bolt on the clamp at the base. You need to set your dwell first.

 

If you haven't done this before, here's a picture of the bolt/clamp that Eric described. Its on the drivers side of the motor and it takes a 9/16" wrench to loosen it. My picture is of a 455 but your 330 used the same thing. John

 

Thanks guys!

 

Thanks!

 

Are your parts (points, condenser, cap, rotor, wires, and plugs) relatively new? Do you have a tach/dwell meter, timing light, and vacuum gauge?

 

I do. I have the dwell adjusted according to tge chassis manual, and its timed to 30°. I want to advance the timing just a bit to see how it reacts

 

No problem, carry on. Welcome to the site, post some pictures of your car when you get a chance.

 

I found the timing was retarded almost 10 degrees! I advanced it to 7.5 deg and it ran beautifully! No more low end hesitation, and it takes off likes a rocket. Since i'm running super high octane fuel, i bumped it to 9 degrees...now the tires will break loose!

 

sorry for the delay!

 

Very nice clean car. Its amazing what tuning an engine properly will fix. These cars are not like a newer car where you can go 100k miles on a tuneup. They need some love periodically to keep them at their peak.

 

Nice 67. I do have a question since I am not familiar with 67's, what is the silver square item to the right of the air cleaner intake horn. Just interested.
Thanks

My folks bought a 67 442 the same gold when I was a kid it was the family grocery getter. What started the Olds disease in me.

Very nice car

Pretty sure that's part of a cruise control setup.

 

its the cruise control box. This car has AC and cruise, although I wish it didn't...too many vacuum lines!

 

thanks!

 

thanks! This is what she looked like when I got her 4 years ago...the day of purchase and also the first day of restoration...it wasn't a frame off, and my father and I did it in my 1 car garage and driveway

 

Good looking ride... Great transition from where you started...

 

Thanks, I thought that might be the cruise control. I agrre with your comment about vacuum lines. My 66 has trunk release and I can't imagine what it's going to take to solve a vacuum issue. I have been tempted to disconnect it.
Thanks
Wayne

 

Wow thats a beautiful car! I love the color. Im just finishing building my 67. Welcome aboard, theres alot of knowledge here.
