<VV> 67 110/pg w/AC Timing

[Western Canada CORSA]

For the fuel pump.  If it's leaking from the sides, try my suggestion below.
If it's leaking from the hole in the top of the pump the gasket has failed,
vendors no longer carry rebuild kits as they were as costly as an entire new
pump.  A lower diaphram failure will fill your crankcase with gas, never
good for the engine.

Disassemble and check the gaskets for tears.  If you find both are in good
shape you can re-assemble.  Use longer screws during your re-assembly, with
nuts and lock washers or nyloks on the bottom side.  The housing is white
metal and it's not unknown for the threads to have insufficient clamping
force to prevent leaks.

Regards,
Joel

I cleaned my timing marks better, however I only found the 0 to 16 marks. I
looked at the block numbers which are partially covered by the sheet metal.
I did make out a W in the code where I should have an RK (I think) followed
by 6 numbers. Are the last six numbers supposed to match my vin 6. They
don't on this car. I'm not sure what engine this is? Probly very common. In
front of the W looks like two characters First:1 or Y or T (?)only half
visible and 2nd: 6 or 8 (bottom half) then the W. It can't be a WA WB or RW.
I don't know what I have, but I will set my timing to 14BTDC.

 I just checked and the dwell was low ~22, I got it up to 30 with a .016
gauge. Although I thought the points looked new, I found they might need
replacing. The timing was 8 degrees.

 In the process of this, I also found, the V.A. leaking. While it was
running I disconnected the vacuum line, the timing AND RPM didn't change
however, when I plugged the vacuum with my finger the RPM dropped rather
significantly.  Leaving the line open or plugged in resulted in the same
RPM.

 Therefore I will fix the points and dwell and set the timing to 14 degrees.
Plug my VA line and ignore it for now. I will also rebuild my other carb
tonight.

 By the way, my fuel pump started leaking at the rim. Can I just replace the
gaskets? Like I said, this is a parts car for now and I'm just tweaking it.
