That's very high. Did you ground the timming pin while checking the timming? vfaq.com tells you exactly what needs to be done, here is the link:

Im also willing to bet that you did not ground out the timing plug.


I couldn't help but think of this while reading the thread title: TIMMY!!

well timmy's not as dumb as you think, I did ground the plug TIMMY!!!

How does your car run with +28 deg of base timing (rough or normal)? And yes, you do adjust the cas to change the timing back to +5, that wont f you up.

I didn't mean to imply anything insulting. I hope it was not takin as such.

none taken, although now you can call me timmy I was reading the timming by the cam gears instead of the crank pulley.

Timing not timming.
Tuning not tunning.

Those typos really, really annoy me >_<
