just need a quick confirmation on my idiocy
quick info
LA360 mild cam, headers, carb, performer rpm intake, had been sitting, removed dizzy to prime motor through oil pump shaft and placed it back in.
Got a job, lost ALL time to work on it
Finally getting back around to working on it and it would start and sounded REALLY rough
Took everything apart and just needed confirmation.....
I put the distributor in 180 by accident right? The lobe with the metal connection on the white plastic portion of the distributor is currently 180 from where it is SUPPOSED to be on the number 1 cylinder position, correct?
I've been working on efi 1990+ japanese cars and I just really want to take the time to ensure I'm not doing this incorrectly.
I had done a bit of searching and researching regarding initial/total timing, vacuum advance, etc, but during searching saw many people posting to start from the beginning, set to comp tdc, ensure proper timing marks, remove dizzy cap, and well, here we are.
I'm nervous when it comes to these things and would rather take a little heat for something silly and just double confirm it before moving on. Appreciate the input!
