Can anyone help me locate the hold down bolt for my distributor? 1967 330 ci

postage to Canada can be absurd though

Got a USA address?

Thanks for your response,

I just need to know where the hold down bolt is to adjust my distributor, can I adjust my distributor like a chevy?

Cheers,

Yeah same set up just remember the distributor turns opposite direction from a Chevy and is wired different but hold down is the same

The timing is set at 10. The book calls for 7.5

It hesitates going 60 ... like a mini backfire (but I don't hear any popping). Almost the engine stops for a mili second (or perhaps transmission).

But it only will do that every 30 seconds and only once, maybe twice.

I have a new fuel pump and the carb idles and accelerates good. But still the pump seems weak, not enough to pump fuel into the carb when the carb is dry (have to prime with external fuel and then it starts no problem).

The timing chain movement at the crank pulley turning it left or right is less than a quarter inch.

No vacuum leaks. Although the transmission vacuum is linked to the distributor vacuum and not on the manifold.

Both vacuum in the distributor and transmission hold.

There is oil deposit with number 4 piston, I can see oil crust on the piston with a flashlight. Otherwise all the plugs are good.

Have you checked to see if the carb is leaking I am no expert on carbs seems kinda funny to say but it's new to me last year I had a problem kinda like it it ended up needing a carb rebuild I just put a edebrock carb on

Although they both need full vacuum, I would separate to their own vacuum ports.
