    Timing.....?

    I pulled out the spout, hooked up the timing light to the 1st cylinder, started the engine, let it warm up a little, and fired the light at the HB. The HB didn't read anything so I adjusted the timing light to read it [one of those snap-on ones] and it read 180.

    Whistling?

    It doesn't sound like a blower... More like a kazoo.

    Timing.....?

    After changing my intake I just checked my timing.. And as long as I have things right, it's WWWWAAAYYYY off. The wire you're suppost to hook it onto is #1 correct? Being the cylinder on the passenger side closest to the headlights? If that's correct, I'm running 180* of timing with no...

    Distributors

    Mallory might make one... I don't buy anything MSD anymore. I work at an auto parts store and MSD/Superchips have it set up so we CANNOT sell any of their products below MSRP. Normally dealers, employees, and my select friends get a "Jobber" or a better price that our warehouse/supplier buys...

    Whistling?

    I finally got my intake on right. No check engine light and it seems to be idling fine. When I rev the car and let off the gas it seems to whistle really loud though.. I have no idea what it is... Any ideas? :shrug:

    Problems after Intake install.

    I've checked everything. It's driving me nuts.. If I have to take it apart again, it will be the third time I'm taking the intake on and off. :(

    Problems after Intake install.

    I just finished installing a Edelbrock RPM intake and now that I've started it I've noticed a Check Engine Light [CEL] and a rough idle then it stalls out. I also notice it having a loud whine or whistle after I rev the engine. Any ideas? I did forget where I left the timing, but I guess...

    Crap, What do I do now?! [need help ASAP]

    I installed my intake and then started the engine and smoke started coming out, so I noticed that I forgot to plug a hole on the intake. I went out to the hardware store and grabbed a bolt that I thought was the right size, turns out it dropped right through the lower intake into the engine. It...

    What is this and how do I fix it?

    I heard it will throw a Check Engine Light and will also affect my fuel consumption if I do this. :nonono:
