timing problems
I have a 86 that i just put an edelbrock intake on and when i put it all back together the timing is off. well kind of, it timed to 12 right and running like crap, yes i pulled the spout connector and cleared the computer.is it possible to be a tooth off? if so would it still time right? im stuck and need help!!

RE: timing problems
pull dist. find #1 and start over? When i set my dist. do I set it a little bit ahead of the mark on the cap? or right on? I had some one tell me put it ahead, and thats how it's set right now

RE: timing problems
as close to #1 as it will go, not ahead. make it easy on yourself, get it to TDC with the distributor still in, then pull the cap. then all you gotta do is pull the distributor up a couple inches and re-adjust.
