Recently i posted about how my car was running like crap. I went through all the electrical and nothing worked. Well i finally got my timing light back and timed the car... It was like retarded 20 degrees..
The distributor hadn't moved. (I know this because due to the fuel rails i had to notch a place on the distributor to fit.) The pins in the distributor gear were fine along with actual gears themselves on the cam and distributor. I checked for play in the timing chain it it seems to be fine also.
The only thing that comes to mind is maybe the key on the crank or something is starting to go?
I notched another section of the distributor and put it at 10 degrees base timing like it was and the car runs like a raped ape now... Feels like i may have a hair to much timing but its back to normal for the most part.
Little nervous about pushing it because somehting had to happen to loose that much timing? Any guesses?
