Re: Need help asap...In the process of changing the timing belt

["robert" <tpiwonka@austin.rr.com>]

I was successful and finished the T-belt yesterday.

Now the timing is off a little and the idle is rough and the power below 2
grand is lacking.  I will be going to Shreveport next weekend though and my
brother and myself should get it all straightened out.

Also,  where is the best deal on a new distributor...looks like mine is
leaking oil internally?


 He is a mechanic at Lexus and usually does most of the work on my cars.

Thanks
Robert
