OK a little backround on my car, Ive had it about a year its an 87 with an auto. I Bought it from an original owner who serviced it by the book. I always thought it was a little down on power but my thoughts where always hey its a 4cyl honda. Anyway I started doing some Tuning this weekend, made a cai, put in some good plugs good wires and said hell lets check the timing and maybe advance it a little. Car is good and warmed up I pull and plug both lines from the dizzy and its so retarted that its inbetween the tdc mark and the first white mark. I advance it to the first white mark but I know i have to get to the red mark for 15 degrees. The distributor is as far as it can go counter clockwise. Locked it up took it for a ride and I am very happy with the results. But Im still about 7 degrees retarded. The prior owner had the timing belt done just before I bought the car. For the hell of it I checked to see if the timing belt was off a tooth but its right on the money. Any Thoughts ??????
