Okay so after my rotor did the self destruct thing inside the =
distributer cap, and messed up the hall sender, I had to get a new =
unit...

that was the easy part...

now when I removed the old distributer I was very carefull to note how =
the distributer came off. When I hooked up the new unit the car ran like =
sh%t I was careful not to move a thing when the distributer was off so =
as to not disturb my timing....

So now my timing is messed, okay, well at least it runs... Went down to =
the store and bought a timing gun... Followed proceedures in the =
Bentley, I've got the distributer cranked all the way clockwise and I =
can't see the timing mark... Car will run but has nothing under 2500rpm =
(will stall on takeoff if you don't rev it up).=20

I've got nothing to loose so I advance the cam sproket one tooth (mark =
moved toward the front of the car), I can see the timing mark now! with =
the gun... Car pulls away fine now, just like before... up untill I get =
to about 6000 rpm then it runs out of breath. I haven't put the timing =
back to stock to see if that improves top end but I suspect it would... =
I miss seeing the revs pass 7000 :)=20

Can anyone help out here...

BTW I wouldn't recommend advancing 2 teeth as it sounds like a desel =
when it runs...
