Magneto Wiring/Firing Order

Or you could have tweaked to oil pump shaft back to where it matched factory position.

Of course I could have done that if I'd known anything about it. I read six different magazine articles on intake manifold installation, plus of course the instructions in the manifold itself, and not one of them ever mentioned anything about this. I'd also asked the speed shop guy before I started if there were anything I needed to know before I started this job. He didn't say anything about it--but when I went back later, after the deed was done, he diagnosed the problem immediately and told me about tweaking the oil pump. Oh that was a LOT of help at THAT point!

not all speed shop guys are created equal.

the one you talked to may never have done the work you were planning.

He was a nice guy I did quite a bit of bidness with. I think his problem was just the opposite--this was such a common thing that he just assumed I'd know about it, so didn't think to insult me by mentioning it to me. You know, kinda like a gun shop guy NOT saying to you on your way out the door, "Now don't shoot yourself in the foot with that thing, okay?"
