I was asked my a member helping me with my high idle /vacuum leak problem how I currently have it hooked up .This is the diagram I am using .

Definitely don't use the retard till you are getting better results. On a 2056 you are going to be quite lean without the resistor and the stock mps. How long were you driving? If my cars oil went to red as quickly as you seem to have done I would immediately be looking at my timing. Something strange is going on. It should take a long time even on a hot day, beating the engine, to get the oil that hot. The heads will heat much faster, which scares me. If your oil was in the red and you are running lean, your heads must have been glowing. Did you verify your sender and oil temp gauge are matched?
No mice nests? Thermostat is working?


Perhaps you are running very advanced and don't realize it? That would explain the starting. I also suspect sticking weights in the distributor. That would explain the slow fall from 2k

The only thing the trigger points are connected to is the ECU. So the retard vacuum etc isn't going to do anything to them. It's bank fire as well so even the timing of the pulse isn't important.
