Working on my WD today that will crank over but not start. Checking the electrical system.
1) Pulled the distributor cap off. When I went to take the rotor off, I wiggled it, and it advanced a click (clockwise). I assume I just inadvertently advanced the timing of the engine? It only seems to rotate in one direction (was unable to rotate it counter clockwise), so to get it back to where it was, do I have to spin it almost one complete revolution forward?
2) How does the dust cover come off? I need to get to the points/condensor to check them out. I assume it just lifts out with a gentle tap upwards? Shouldn't be held in place by much more than gravity, right? It doesn't turn and lock in place or anything?
3) How do I check play in the distributor bearing/bushing? Do I have to go deeper than the points/condensor to figure this out?
Anything I should be aware of when taking this apart or opening it up? Things I should mark their location or direction so I don't screw something up, or shouldn't short across by accident?
