I'm trying to time my 1.8 with carbs, and am having a rough time. I'm not sure if I am suppose to have a vacuum advance or not on my dist. Anyone know if the dist on my car is stock, or if it's an "upgrade". If it's an upgrade, is it any good?
I ordered a new condenser for it, and the one I ordered didn't seem to be right (original had a separate bracket that held the plug in - replacement had the bracket attached to the condenser). I believe that I had to mount the condenser upside down for it to fit properly (as it was originally). If the condenser was mounted in what seemed to be the proper position, the dist would not fit back into the engine properly. (IMG:http://img106.imageshack.us/img106/5383/picture2007012as1.th.jpg) |

trying to sustain 3200rpm and setting the timing you will need a third hand. unless...turn the IDLE SPEED adj screw on the dr side carb in until you achieve the desired rpm. DON'T touch the pass side screw, as the linkage and pass side carb will follow suit and the pass idle speed screw will (should ) be off of its stop. if you have adj the valves, the dwell is correct, the timing is correct, now would be a good time to check (while the idle is high) the flow of the carbs with your Unisyn/syncronizer tool using the forward venturi of each carb.
