Ok, here goes my new problem:  I put my rebuilt '84 JH 8v in, aligned the cam,flywheel,and intermediate shafts as best I could(pretty damn close) before putting the timing belt on.  Now the engine runs, and I broke out the timing light to fine tune it.  Now when I time it so that the flywheel mark is on the tranny notch with the timing light, it runs, but a little funny.  Turning the distrib a little to the left makes it idle faster, and AFAIK it idles better too.  So is the mark on my flywheel the "absolute" best timing I'm going to get?  Or should I set the distrib by ear, waiting until I get to the idle's peak?  Thanks in advance-

Rob
