16v timing woes...

First, take the belt back to where it was. (ie. stock location)  Then,
make sure the distributor is bolted using the top bolt hole toward the
front of the car, and the rear bolt should be in the bottom hole.  Crank
the dist. all the way clockwise and then back off  about 10 - 12mm.  This
should get you close enough to get it started so that you can fine tune
it.

PS. The hall sender *IS* pointed at the 7:30-8 o'clock position from the
drivers fender isn't it?

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). 
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 :) 
Can anyone help out here...
BTW I wouldn't recommend advancing 2 teeth as it sounds like a desel when
it runs...
