So today I took the ignitor, coil and distributor out of my Toyota and put it in the D50, the problem is the Toyota distributor fits perfect, it is backwards (The advance points towards the intake manifold) but I got spark so I tried to start the D50 and all it did was pop every once in a while, but it never tried to start. It has low compression on all cylinders except #1, when I crank the engine by hand I cant even get the timing mark to 10deg BTDC because #1 has so much compression. Would the lifters cause it to have low compression because of the fact they have no oil in them and they are soft? Im going to get a distributor from the junk yard and see if I can get spark from the coil. I tested the continuity of the ignitor and it was not even close to being in spec.
