Well I just turned mine to the middle,roughly where it should be.I am getting lousy gas mileage so i guess it was to far ahead.Took a break from that today to run wires for my amp,and when I pulled back the carpet and found a couple of holes by the dead pedal.So now I gotta fix those ,like I said before every one of these cars I had rust out in this same spot.Still not sure where the water came from.

In the other thread you said you have a carb flywheel, so your red mark is at 20 degrees, not 15 degrees. Your vacuum advance is for EFI though, so it won't advance as far as a carb version. Therefore it makes sense that you would have to rev it a bit to get to the 20 degree line. It sounds like you've got it pretty close then. How does it drive?

It drives OK but seems to be down on power when I step on it,unless it's just because it's auto.Sorry about the confusion,everything on this car is original.The flywheel off the carbed car was just for interest didn't know they were different.

Oh, I was actually talking to Marvis, since he kind of butted in on your thread.
Your situation is pretty much the same though. First verify that the cam timing is correct by manually lining up the flywheel to TDC and checking the alignment marks on the cam pulley. Then with engine running (warmed up with vac advance disconnected) adjust the distributor so that the TDC mark lines up with the pointer. Then reconnect vacuum advance and verify that the red mark lines up with the pointer. Then you're done. If it still runs bad after that then there is something else wrong.

The car is also hard on gas too,but no cel on other than egr.
