Cam gear is set at 2 degrees retarteddistributer is 0 degrees with vac advance off
I drove it over and over and it does lack power for what is in it. I am leaning toward the carb being off. But I cant imagine it is cause this much of an issue.i checked it. 0 on the crank and the cam pin is right a 12 o clock.
did you make sure the chain was tight on the drivers side?? right side as your looking at the engine?this is very important 2* off can be a big issue.
I have my timing set 12* advanced. This seemed to work the best for me. Not sure why it would be 2* retarded. That would hurt performance especially on the low end. Also, as stated earlier check the muffler it could be partially stopped up if it is the stock one that is 30 years old.As for the chain all the slack needs to be on the passenger side because thats where the tensioner is at. When installing it you want to make sure it is tight on the drivers side between the cam and crank so that the tensioner on the passenger side takes up all the slack.
Here is the dizzy position. Perfect but no where near a typical 22r timing setup. 0 is where the dizzy wont go any further..
If by this you mean when the engine is at TOD, with the distributor in, it can't be adjusted anymore to set the timing. If so, pull the distributor out, rotate it a tooth or two and reinstall it. It might take a few attempts to get it right, but this will allow you to gain the room needed to set the timing.
