Ignition woes...I think?
I recently purchased a non-running 70 F700 with the 330 2V engine. It had been sitting for a year, or so I'm told. I can not get the truck to start. The best I can do is some carb puffing and a backfire. Heres what I know.
The previous owner changed the points, condenser, cap, and rotor. He managed to put 1 of the wires back to the correct clyinder assuming they run 1,2,3,4 front to back on the passenger side 5,6,7,8 on the driver's.
I have fuel and spark.
Compression is 1)120 2)110 3)125 4)95 5)125 6)120 7)125 8)100
Firing order is 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8 counter-clockwise.
Verified TDC and rotor orientation and corrected the wires.
Gapped the points to .017 and cleaned the plugs and gapped to .034 . Wires are not brand new but look good. Does anyone know what the resistance should be?
I have moved the distributer from one end to the other with no luck.
Any ideas? Carb issue perhaps? But seems like ignition? Weak coil? Where should the dist. be, roughly of course, on these motors since there is quite a bit of adjustment.
Thanks for any help.
