Phantom Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Unless the car has an after market ignition system or is somehow very different from my 83 NA you loosen the nut that holds the distributor in place and rotate the distributor to advance or retard the timing. You'll need a timing light and to find the timing mark and scale by the crank pulley on the front of the engine, drivers side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280Zone Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 You can't turn the distributor, you need to loosen the crank angle sensor and slide it up or down with the adjusting bolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaTTSuN Posted August 24, 2006 Author Share Posted August 24, 2006 thanks 280zone i kinda figured that just wanted to back it up. i messed with everything to get it to run half ok with the cam timing out one tooth now im putting everything back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaTTSuN Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share Posted August 25, 2006 i "tried" changing my timing today. it didnt work no matter how dar i moce the CAS it didnt budge is there something wrong? the good news it im driving itwith a 2 day permit for thefirst time. the bad news is it doesnt rev well under 2500 rpm i think the TPS is off a bit still looking for the sweet spot would the 35deg of timing make it sluggish? it boosts to 9psi but its not like a roar ...Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
