The ZIL-130, 131 car was one of the most popular on our roads. And today their owners are in no hurry to write off the car for scrap, take care of it, repair it…. Sometimes it is required to set the ignition to the ZIL. This must be done after repairing the engine with replacing parts of the piston group, parts of the drive of the gas distribution mechanism, replacing the drive of the breaker-distributor itself or the pulse sensor (depending on which ignition system is installed on your car - contact or non-contact).
Instructions
Step 1
So, the repair is completed: the worn out parts have been replaced, the attachments are installed on the engine, and it itself is put in place, secured, the electrical equipment is connected, the battery is connected. It's time to start installing the ignition.
Unscrew the plug of the first cylinder and insert a paper swab into the hole. Slowly rotate the crankshaft with the handle (curved starter) until the piston of the first cylinder reaches the top dead center (TDC) of the compression stroke. We are informed about this by a paper cork, which will be thrown out of the candle hole with a little cotton. Align the mark on the crankshaft pulley with the TDC mark on the comb mounted on the camshaft cover.
Step 2
Install the distributor drive (pulse transmitter). To do this, lower it into the hole in the engine block and align the hole on the lower drive plate with the threaded holes on the cylinder block. In this case, the axis of the hole on the top plate of the drive should not deviate from the groove on the drive shaft by more than 15 degrees (plus / minus). Position the groove with an offset towards the front end of the cylinder block.
Step 3
After making sure the actuator is installed correctly, secure it with the bolts. Turn the crankshaft until the mark on the pulley stands opposite one of the marks located between the numbers 3 - 6 of the comb (ignition timing).
Using the adjusting screws, set the top plate of the octane corrector to the zero mark on the scale on the bottom plate. Fix this position, insert the distributor breaker into the actuator so that the octane corrector is at the top. The position of the slider will tell you where the wire of the first cylinder on the distributor cap will be located.
Step 4
Turning the breaker by the body, achieve such a position in which the control lamp goes out, i.e. until the cams release the movable contact shaft. Find the moment the spark is applied to the spark plug of the first cylinder. Lock the body of the breaker-distributor in this position.
Step 5
Install the cover and insert the high-voltage wires into its holes. First, the wire of the first cylinder, and then the wires of the remaining cylinders in the order of their operation 1 - 5 - 4 - 2 - 6 - 3 - 7 - 8. Connect the center wire to the ignition coil.
Step 6
Check the operation of the ignition system, i.e. the presence of a spark between the center wire and the cylinder block. With a contact ignition system, open the breaker contacts. With a contactless system, turn on / off the ignition with the key.
Start the engine with the electric starter. After it warms up, finally check the ignition. If there are problems, adjust the ignition system with an octane corrector.
