Hey guys.....couple questions. First off, I had the intake gaskets and timing chain replaced on my 93 LX. Car has a Kenne Bell s/c and was wondering where the timing should be set. The car is idling higher than when I took it in to get the repairs done (~850-900 rom). Everything I have read says the timing needs to be a little retarted. This idle speed seems to high to me as well. Any info as to where these two conditions shold be set would be appreciated. Thanks.
