Stop in for a cup of coffee

Just drove my car for bout 40 mins... longest i have driven it.. no issues other than some rattle under the dash making me nuts.. no other real rattles... rear end is a little hard on bumps.. fixable. BUT... it has like NO power.... and no idea.. it has less than my v6 grand cherokee...

I know my timing mark is off so i kept stopping and adding more waiting for ping but it never came.. i stopped when i hit the hard starting area... got home and my timing light says it's idling at 80 degrees... so i think that may be wrong... :) i'm hoping since i have almost no advance that i'm just missing a ton of timing so it has no power, i need to figure out why the timing marks so far off on the harmonic.

This was pretty much floored... just meh....

 
Went for a walk with the wife and Lauren. I made it half way around the lake and my knee started complaining. They can come and get me. Thank you.

If its got an oem type ignition, could be bad module. Msd needs a special timing light.

pertronix ignition... i have never had a motor this slow since my last slant6... and i'm an idiot but not this bad with motors... the car literally feels like it's fighting to go..
