I just advanced my timing to 18 degrees. Here's my question, I had to move the distributor to the very end of the advance stroke in order to achieve 18 degrees. Anybody elses ITR like that as well?

 

Good stuff, I would like to advance my timing too... oh well. I'm patient.

 

It's not hard, all you need is a timing light. Make sure your engine is warm (rad fan running or has ran), ground out the service connector (the blue connector by the glove box), unbolt 3 bolts that hold the distributor down and move it till you got the desired timing.

 

Now I have a rough idea of how to, but I'm gonna wait until someone who's done it before can help me.

 

That being said, my car does feel more responsive and a slight hp increase (especially noticeable at about 7000 rpm).

Mine still has 2 mm left. The very end would be 21 deg on my engine.

 

And the best tool to do this is... a fork
