Did you pull the spout out when you checked timing? Its the little jumper plug next to the distributer, you will find it hanging off those wires that go to the TFI module. Sounds like you didnt pull that to me. Get a repair manual for your car. Go ahead and get the factory service manual off ebay or something if you plan to do all your own repairs. It will cost over $50 but its the best spent $ there is.

Look at your coil springs in the back, are the coils nearly touching one another? IF so you need new springs. What are you running back there? You gotta check with the car on the ground on its wheels.

And lastly, did you put all poly bushings in the rear control arms, or does one end of each still have rubber? This can attribute to the roughness you feel.
