Well I had my car running pretty good on 2 pistions it would idle good and when I pressed on the gas it go up just slow. Then I decied to fix the other 2 pistions now its running on all four (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif). But I really mess around with the distrubutor by turning the whole thing and the distrubutor moves really easy now and I can't seem to get it into that sweet spot again so it will stay at a idle. I can get it to start up but then it just dies or will stay at a idle super low idle for about 10 seconds. So how do I make the distributor tight and how do I find the right spot for it to stay running. Thanks

Got a timing light? Got a friend who's dad has a timing light? Some uncool kid in school who has access to a timing light? Make him you're best bud. YOU NEED THIS! Before you make things worse. Get it set up right then figure out what else is wrong.
