The Daytona: January 5, 2005
by Russ Knize on Jan.05, 2005, under Daytona
Strange thing happened. I tried to go to work one snowy morning, but I couldn’t get the beast started. It popped a few times, but then nothing. It was snowing out, which made it a pain to diagnose, but I had fuel and spark. Finally I checked the timing and found that the cam was fine but the ignition had jumped about 50 degrees. I cranked the distributer around to get the rotor pointing at #1 again and it fired right up. The timing belt was done anyway, so I went ahead and replaced it. Also fixed a bunch of little vacuum leaks. Runs better than ever. Will have the Blizzaks shortly….
