I think the PO has the timing set too far advanced. When she's warm she's a bear to start.
How do you see the timing marks? What's the best method?
The dizzy will not rotate, it is completely stuck. Please tell me the 403 has a standard GM-type fiber gasket, not a Ford-type o-ring seal. I've soaked it with PB Blaster, and tried a crescent wrench, then hammering a crescent wrench on the shaft. Still not moved a hair.
The PO of my jetboat had an automotive dizzy installed in the 429 (huge no-no). Same deal, wouldn't budge. I had to cinch it to my garage rafters with a 5k ratchet strap in order to pull it to replace it with a marine dizzy. I could have hooked up my bass rig to the strap and played a bit. Even with the force on it, I still had to beat it with a hammer to get it to slowly slide out. The vac advance unit was shredded from all the hammering on it. I'm hoping for no repeat performance here.
Oh, and yes, I did loosen the hold down clamp. LOL
Thanks!
