Set Allen
How do i set the points on my 1977 GMC chevy sierra?
I recently changed all the spark plugs and wires, rotor cap,and a new thing that needs the points set. Now the truck ran before i did all that, could it be that it doesnt run because the points are not set? I dont know that much about trucks so , what feeler gauge should i use or shall i say what points do i set them at?…….Now i do know the arm moves horizontal and you use an allen wrench to set it i think…PLEASE GIVE ANSWERS IN YOUR SIMPLEST EXPLANATION ON HOW TO DO THAT AND IF THAT IS THE REASON WHY IT DOESNT START UP ……it does turn over but it just wont catch spark
Your 1977 P/U does not have a point distributor unless someone have changed it.
It has a HEI type distributor with the coil mounted in the cap.
If you are not getting spark check
1. On the front side of the cap there is a 3 wire plug closest to the cap. The outer terminals are marked BAT & TACH
2. Remove the BAT wire & Check for continuity
3. If there is power [with the key on] Then remove the cap.
4. Inspect the condition of rotor, cap, & center electrode.
5. If checks OK remove the module mounted to the base plate
6. Inspect the wires for overheating or corrosion.
7. If the module is original, replace it.
8. With an Ohm meter check the continuity of the pickup coil.
9. If checks OK remove the HEI coil from the cap & check continuity.
10. Buy a manual if unsure how to perform these procedures
