16 degrees? Dustributor in correct, or harmonic balancer spun so timing off?
Distributor is in correct. I can move it from 5* ATDC all the way too 16-17*BTDC. So a tooth off is unlikely. When I originally built the engine I went to time it and I couldnt. So threw process of elimination I decided to change the balancer with a known good and thats what is on it now. So it is a possibility it could be spun but very unlikely also
Ect?
What do you mean "ECT"?
Did you check your TPS when you had it off?
I checked my tps after my first test drive. Come to find out the bottom ear for the lower bolt was broke off. Caused the engine to die. So I unplugged it and drove home ( Few Miles ). I got a "New Used" one and installed that. I tried so many times to set it with my DVOM but it just wasnt working. So in frustration I just timed it by sound and ran with it until I had my cousin can come help me get it set ( 4 hands instead of 2). Now it has one and is working. Idle drop when jumped.
