well guys before i break out the dremel, is it normal to have to notch my dizzy to advance more because i cant get to 16* im on the line nearest the firewall with the dizzy advanced all the way.. wha happen?....

 

Are you jumping the ecu plug?

 

i didnt attempt to even move the dizzy yet, just flashing the light on it, but the dizzy is all the way advanced

 

hows timing on the gears? my guess its off

 

i have a cam gear set at 3* advanced.. im guessing thats throwing it off, i really like where my cam gear is at right now.. should i notch? btw (d16y8)

...there goes your problem.

 

there are millions of people with cam gears.. so your telling me to set it to 0?.. all im saying is it ok to notch to make up for that? with my cam gear on 0 my low end is gone.. i have a 105300 cam.. i can put it at 2 and maybe notch less anything below 2 i might as well get out and push the car from idle to 3000rpm

70% of the people with cam gears have it for looks. unless you get the car tuned(and tuner adjusts it for best power) or you have a milled head cam gears are basically pleasing to the eye.

you should never have to notch your distributer. my guess is you just adjusted for what feels best to you. i still wouldnt notch the dizzy

 

i havent brought it on the dyno but i do know advancing my cam gear gives me alot better low end, its horrible to drive with my cam gear on 0..i can floor it and just bog bog bog, till 3k rpm.. i mean im not even exaggerating, im talking 5-10 miles an hour till 3krpm with the car floored, what do i do?

 

get it tuned what ecu what program are you running?

 

stock obd2a i didnt want to do much to it at all.. just a few bolt on's

 

tuning brings out the true power in your cams...just keep that in mind. convert to obd1 and use crome.

 

i have plans for that.. but not till mid year.. for now.. this timing issue is bothering, the cars runs fine how it is by the way, but i kjnow i should be on 16* and looks like im at 14-13* any negatives with running that way?

 

what is so bad about notching the distributor though, if i notch it i will still be at the stock 16* setting.. and 3* on the cam gear, is that bad?..

 

hey helms manual says 12* +2*, for the d16y8 in neutral, since it looks like m at 14-13* am i ok?


where does the 16* come from

 

14 is ok....just leave it the way it is.

 

alright im going to leave it alone.. i will be spraying a 55 shot soon so i guess that -2* will come in handy anyway?
