Re: 3.0 OMC ignition problem
OK. Remember you need fuel, spark, compression and timing, valve and ignition. Don't take the cam out. The crank will make two revolutions for every one camshaft revolution. Turn the motor so the timing marks are lined up next to each other. That will ensure your valve timing is good. Move your plug wires on the dizzy cap two spaces clockwise. Can't remember but did you put a timing light on #1 while turning the motor over to get timing close? If not do it. Just making sure dizzy is positioned close. Put your timing cover back on. You shouldn't have to do anything in there if the mark line up. Try it. Another thought, did you touch the rocker arm adjustment? Or is there one?
