Hi all,
This is not inrelation to our supras, but my mum owns a toyota landcruiser striaght 4liter 6 cylinder using the old carby and points. Now the problem is that the dwell angle must be 41degrees, which is all good. Now i adjust the points inside the distributor and with my tester i adjust it to 41 degrees and tighten up the screws that holds the points and thats it. But after a few miles/kilometers the dwell angles goes out and the engine starts to back fire due to the dwell angle being out (ie 50 - 60 degrees instead of 41 degrees). I can't seem to work out why this happens. The points have not moved!! so i re adjust it.
I have thought that maybe the coil is dieing? or the distributor is in wrong! Personally i have no idea!! I'm sorry this is nothing to do with supras but i would really appreciate your help.
A quick note my 82 supra is just about ready for re spray, i will post pics when complete.
Regards
Wayne
