Re: Tming Chain Stupid Question

[Nico Over <nover@xxxxxxxx>]

OK all I am the dummy, The firing order was correct but one terminal off. Got 
the timing sorta set, car runs much better, no more exhaust popping, the only 
thing I need now to sort out is that the engine wants to keep dying below 2k 
rpm, Fuel pressure is 3 psi at the regulator which I will increase to 5 psi.I 
also may still have a vacuum leak but at least it starts fairly easy and raps 
up nicely. Thanks for all the input, you folks are the greatest.
