you "think" or you "know" the timing is at 14 degrees? Did the distributor ship 'installed', or did you have to take a stab at it?

If you go for the timing by the balancer, either you set it 100% right, or it is 180 degrees off.

That being the case, generally speaking, flop the distributor 180 and give it a whirl.

What does increasing the fuel pressure do to your idle?

Check your MAF connections and try to swap another one out.


Sounds like it *went* bad on you.
