I searched the forums but I wasn't able to find much help for this one...
Last night I installed LC's pro distributor with vacuum advance for the 22r. the best I could get the timing was about 16 BTDC at around 1,100 RPMs. I test drove it, and the engine makes a clacking noise at low rpms as if the distributor is out a tooth. I reinstalled it a tooth back, and the engine wouldn't start. So I reinstalled it again a tooth forward from the first time, and the engine runs weak, and the timing is at about 3 degrees past TDC, not the 8 to 12 before TDC, which is where its supposed to be with this distributor. I already have an LC adjustable cam gear installed at about 5 degrees advanced, and I'm wondering if that could be a problem.
Any help would be great, thanks
