    Adjust your timing

    Well my timing adjustment finally happened yesterday....

    I had 5 to 7 degrees retard compared to TDC .... DAMN.. no wonder my car was sluggish and had a weird power curve

    I not put it directly on the mark and I got a brand new car It's alot more powerful than it was...

    I got those engine mods
    - DC ceramic header
    - JG engine dynamics Camshaft
    - MSD Blaster coil 3
    - MSD SCI
    - Cold Air Intake
    - Performance Muffler

    There are alot of other things that I want to add but I'll keep my mouth, I hate that "Future Mods" plan... but in the next weeks I want to get an adjustable fuel pressure regulator and an adjustable cam gear.

    To adjust the timing, you need a special device called a timing light. You aim it at the flywheel and turn the distributor according to the timing mark on the flywheel..

    It is well described in the Haynes manual
