Hi everyone. Here is a video of me talking about my falcon. Just the highlights in case you can't understand me (my video is terrible lol)
1. I pulled the dizzy installed PerTronix ignitor and while looking at the #1 intake pushrod found where TDC on the compression stroke is and plopped it in at roughly 6° BTDC. This has fixed my ign. Problem.
2. My Generator is not charging the system. I think I will try polarizing it before I replace anything.
3. Now that it runs enough to rev a little I noticed some problems. Now in the video I couldn't get it to run long enough to rev up but it'll rev up really nice and fast up to about 2,000 RPM but after that it just flatlines and stops revving any higher and eventually coughs and stalls. I think this is a carb. Problem and a rebuild is needed.
4. If you listen carefully you might hear it. But to me (I might be crazy) it kinda sounds like a rod knock. I'm not sure though. It does have oil pressure but I have zero idea of the condition of the internal of the engine.
5. Starting issue still persists. Turns out the reason it wasn't cranking indefinitely with the new solenoid was a connection to the starter came loose. When I tightened it back snug it started cranking indefinitely again. And with the new solenoid no other electronics in the car work. I tried all different connections to make sure they weren't flipped. I put the old one back on and everything but the starter works now.
