HOT RODS OF THE STONEY RIDGE FARM!! WRENCH TIME ON THE SS 454!!!
What happens here
The presenter begins by cleaning his hands with a "Tub O' Towels." He then removes the K&N air cleaner assembly from the engine, which is held by a central bolt and an oil breather hose, to provide clear access to the distributor and other timing components. He prepares the Innovate digital timing light, explaining its function (flashing a beam of light each time the number one spark plug fires) and how it connects to the spark plug wire and the battery. He then uses his phone to confirm the correct firing order (1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2) for the 454 SS engine.
Goal: Gain access to the engine's timing components and prepare the necessary tools.
