i stripped my distributor bolt. now how the hell do i get the off????? i got belts on i had to put a spacer between waterpump and pulley and it worked

 

hmm, worst case is you remove your intake manifold from the motor, put it on your bench and remove that bolt one way or another. It's a lot easier on a bench then wayyyyy in the back of the engine bay....
best case would be to heat it up and remove it or something...

 

got bolt off and car runs finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks everybody for ur help i appreciate it.

 

another quest would burn plug wires make car run like ****???? wires are burnt and im just wonderin if thats the issue../

 

possibly. If they lose their connectivity, and therefore you get no spark through it.

 

k cause when i go to get on it it pops and has drag like bein held back

 

i put everything on right and car still doesnt seem to be running like usual. its running at 210 degrees and the exhaust sounds like it leaking bad. would exhaust make car not run to par? also would my fan not be in far enough to make it not run cool? i have a flexlite fan and its on outside of shroud is it supposed to be in word sum?

 

start a new thread in the tech/general engine forum, listing what you've recently done, and what the problem is.
You'll get more help there.

 

It sounds like your timing is extremely retarded. That'll make you lose power and overheat. Essentially the expanding gas is pushing out past the partially open exhaust valve rather than on the piston during the powerstroke.

1) Check base timing and make sure it's set to 8 to 12 degrees before top dead center. You have to disconnect the computer from the distributor by disconnecting the flat 4-pin connector on the dist.

2) Once you have finished step 1, ensure that the computer is re-engaged to the four pin plug on the distributor. The computer advances the timing for you in lieu of springs and weights.

If you forget to disconnect the computer to set base timing, you'll accidently retard the timing about 30 degrees.

 

we unplugged everything from dist when we did the manifold and when setting time. i have an exhaust leak cause i hear header noise over exhaust... would that make me lack power other then that it runs good.. i had to add more antifreeze cause ther want enough lol thats y ran hott. im an idiot
