    Re: timeing

    Wow, 150*? To go that far something must be amiss. Distributor clamp in place when running (the gear will push it up and out), no teeth missing on dist gear or cam gear, timing set and chain in good shape? Perhaps others will have more ideas.:v6:

    I'd agree with the timing chain, make sure it's in good condition.

    Get a breaker bar and 13/16" socket (IIRC), take the cap off the distributor and turn the crankshaft watching to see if there's a delay in the distributor moving. If so the timing chain seems suspect.
