Alright guys, just dropped in a 6 bolt. FInally got the idle a little under control by adjusting the cable.

Anyways, The car will simply not go. I can get up to around 2 or 3k. but no power at all. It builds boost. But it's like it simply will not go. I'm kinda confused... It idles just fine, doesn't miss or anything. Just as soon as i hit the throttle, she falls on her face, misses a tiny bit, and just will not accelerate.

I could hold the throttle full in 1st and go no were practically.

Any clues.

The car is also very hard to start. Takes a couple tries, but then after that she usually can start right up.
 
I have to wait for my gf to buy me a timing light tomorrow *she has the running DSM right now* LOL. But yea I am going to set it and the idle tomorrow. See if it helps any.

BTW I don't have a timing belt cover on, and the link I have to set it with the cam gears, the videos are no available any insight>
 
timing light............ old school I have one and have only had to use it twice on a 70's cadillac.
