Got it moving under it's own power again!
Still have to set the timing with the timing light. But starting and idling and moving on it's own hasn't happened in a long time so...

Thanks very much f ...

Yea, that throttle lever stop is way out of whack.
I'm sure it was being used to adjust the idle.

"set from the factory" heh heh.

Thanks again!

Smoothie- Thanks for your advice about getting the a:f mix in the ballpark.

I set it full counterclockwise (lean), and went clockwise until I heard fuel rushing in the lines, I could kind of see t ...

Thanks!
Re-timed the cam, using the mark on the back, and got it started up!

It wouldn't idle without giving it throttle, and I couldn't get it started again once I shut it off.

I'm guilty of ...

Thanks for the advice!
Smoothie- I may have the wrong timing mark on the cam, I used the dot on the front of the gear to line up. Didn't know about the mark on the back.
Thanks!

HI! I'm trying to figure out why my 77 isn't starting.

You should be able to find a whole rear hatch, there have been loads of them at the Hershey swap meet in the last few years. It shouldn't be too hard to track one down in CA.

The car really does look great, I'm sure it will be nice to drive with a fresh engine.

Since you recently changed the timing belt, the timing is where I'd start looking first.
You may have gotten the cam gear out of sync. Refer to the Haynes manual, but I belive the dot on the back o ...

Just curious, what tires are you using? Do you like them?

I'm shopping, 6 weeks before the first pca event!

It's great to hear about somebody else autocrossing, I'm still working the bugs out of my '77 before I try it with the PCA this summer.
