Hi All,
I need help, this one has me stumped. I have a '60 and have two 7017320 Fuel Units. The "old" unit I have had for over 30 years, the other ("new") I bought in pieces a few years ago and now have running. I removed the "new" unit and 914 distributor after getting it to run well and re-installed the "old" unit and distributor (running fine when pulled about 1 month ago). The "old" unit would not start, will not even try. It has fire - spare plug & wire plugged into cap shows fire. It has fuel - took loose two different lines at the nozzle and it squirts fuel. I have checked the distributor placement (pulled #1 plug, @ tdc the piston is at top of stroke & it is pointing to #1) and even put the other distributor back in as I had an electronic module in the "old" distributor. I pulled a valve cover and the cam is turning. I have not put the "new" unit back on yet but I have gas so it should run. What am I missing??? I know I am not the smartest mechanic but really this has me . . . Thanks for any help, Don H.
