Chadius Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Right as soon as my teeth count is right on the belts I can align that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadius Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 could I ask to see somebody's timing marks in relation to the crank key? Im just a little worried that my timing mark pulley should be installed on the harmonic balancer in a certain way. I dont want to use the marks on the pulley if it is installed on the crank wrong.

k9sar Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Sorry but I don't understand your question. How many pieces do you have loose? Looking at your pictures above, you have a pully (outermost) with bolts in it and you have a bigger pully w/ a keyed slot. There is really no way to get the assembly wrong. The rotational orientation of the small pulley on the big pulley makes no difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 If your timing marks are lined up. Slide the pulley on. Then bolt the outer piece on with the left most timing mark at the pointer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadius Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Yes I was talking about the rotational orientation, I just awanted to make sure the timing marks on the big pulley was in correct orientation according to the keyhole. The smaller pulley had a yellow mark on it to refer to. And I actually put it 3 notches over for 15 degrees I heard that was the best for the carbureted versions of the vehicle As far as ignition timing goes I never did it I put the pulley at 15 degrees and she seemed to idle and run just fine. Can anybody tell me if the ignition timing is necessary or will it be okay with just timing up the pulleys correctly. After the pulley was on I did I teeth count on the upper sprockets (still 40). So far so good. I hope all is well and she keeps running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) The timing marks on the crank pulley are just for reference. The distributor's geared off one of the camshafts, so if you did the belt job right (sounds like you did) and you haven't moved the distributor, your ignition timing should be exactly the same as it was before. If the pulley is clocked wrong, you'll have a tougher time setting the timing if you ever need to, but I'm pretty sure that's all the damage it would do. I actually ordered a timing light the other day to tune the Scout, and I'll probably try it on the Pathy as well, just in case somebody tinkered with it and set it wrong. I'm always hoping to find a little free power hidden in there. Edited February 15, 2015 by Slartibartfast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
