I am having a lot of timing problems. When first starting cranking on it, it was co to starting. Pushed on the distributor a bit and it cranked as long as you pushed the distributor and idled. But wont start any other way.

after he got the right injectors and pigtails, fixed the map leaks and gutted the broken cats. the thing runs tons better. he installed the wide band like i told him months ago to do so i can tune it. now that i tuned it it runs great. it needs alittle more but i'll wait till the turbo is in first.

we'll i never thought about making a driving vid lol. but yeah, she is all up and running. it does not like the maf at all. soon as you turn it on it has a real bad throttle lag. still needs some cold idle tuning. just too lazy to do it right now lol. been working stupid long hours. good ole navy.
