[Amc-list] no guts in the 287

[d stohler <das24rules@xxxxxxxxx>]

the timing jumping one tooth could VERY well be the
problem. remember when i first got the car, it had 4
bent pushrods, 2 grenaded lifters? the valvetrain was
real messed up. it had sticking valves and all. the
guy i got it from said they tried to start it once and
then gave up after it had been sitting for ever.
valves stick, pushrods bend, grenade lifters, jump a
tooth on the timing? sounds pretty logical to me.
guess its time to tear the front off and see. the
distributor is good. i had pulled it once to make sure
it was right. it affected it NONE. i put it one tooth
each way to see what it did. nothing. it is now back
in the original position now. with the timing light, i
got the timing dead on where my 62 tsm says its
suposed to be. (using 62 as i dont have a 65 and im
assuming they didnt change specs like that on the
engine.) so, i am not goin to any shows this weekend.
guess i will be tearing a front end apart off that
motor to find out. i am still open to any other ideas
that i may not have tried. so far thats the only thing
i have seen anyone say that i have not tried.
