ok, so i was working on this project, i took of the fuel rails and the intake manifold and the 8 pipes and had them powder coated. i got them back today and spent several hours putting them back on. when everything was back together, it looked beautiful...
but when i tried to start her up, it didnt work... its getting fuel and i cam make it run if i press the gas but it wont idle. my suspision is that the timing is off now. when i was removing the pipes, i loosened the bolt that makes the distributer slide back and forth and i slid it out of the way. i did not remove it or take it apart. just slid it toward the front of the car. i moved it around quite a bit to try to find the right spot, im guessing this might adjust the timing? it always turns over and tries to start but after the first chug, just dies. i move it around a bit and get a double chug then it dies. is there a secret or tool used to adjust timing correctly? or is it just move it around till it works? thanks for the help and advice
