Default Changed dizzy, now car is slow

Had to change dizzy on my b16 and now it is noticeably slower then before. It runs fine,idles good it just doesn't pull like it did before. What could have caused this?

Check your ignition tinming if you hadn't done so already and what were the causes of the dizzy swap ?? Most likely its just the ignition timing off a lil bit

I'm not entirely sure on a b16 I know tht you can just do it by ear on d series by turning the dizzy either back or foreward to advance or retard the ignition timing you can prolly just adjust the cas I'm not really sure on a b16 like I said bc before my del sol I was a dsm guy not much experience with honda

You need a timing gun to check your ignition timing.
