what a difference

Post by **SoCal_Cabby** » Sat Apr 01, 2006 10:19 pm

a couple days ago i noticed the internals of my distributor were disintegrating, well i ordered a new one and got it yesterday, i installed it today. well apparently the dealership set the timing to the factory specs, (i took it there when i first got it, and the car has schricks) well after i got the distributor installed i played with the timing a little and holy cow what a difference it seriously pulls alot harder all the way to redline, i'll find out tomorrow how it pulls in all the gears, i only made it to third today, and it is a substantially noticeable difference

congrats. good to hear someone has seen the power.

I had my injectors replaced and now, while the idle is much better, it pulls for *(&(*&^. Much less power than before. That's what I get for letting others mess with my toys...

Amazing what a little advance can do, eh?

by adjusting the timing of a car you can retard the spark or advance the spark and the can so that you get higher low end torque.

On my 90 I had it tweaked to be advanced bu about 8 degrees at the dist, I suffered poor gas economy, but I could pull through the gears like a mad man, and hit 60 in second at 4800 rpm.... I ate a lot of rice krispies.
