Re: Bucketlist Blazer -Restomod build 6.6liter L8T

Good God almighty....Finally!!
4 months and 5 days and my Blazer is finally running again.
I am placing these notes here for me to remember later.

-DO not forget to mark the distributor before removing it.
-Timing tick is at 12 degrees before TDC so 12 to the left of the zero.
-Distributor should be advanced counter clockwise of center. If there are flames out of the carb, it is retarded too much.
-Distributor rotor points directly at Cylinder 1 spark plug wire.
-Give it at least half throttle and start the motor cold

My issue ended up being a little corrosion on the points Rotor position was slightly off and timing was too low/retarded. I

Tomorrow I will burp the motor and radiator, check/top off the fluids and set total timing advance. After that I can finally take a nice joyride in my beloved!
