so just finished a h/c/i on the 94. B cam, gt-40p heads, street heat intake, 1.7rr. the car runs very rough and misfires like crazy and dumping fuel into the motor. plugs are already fouled and they brand new. smells like fuel also. compression test showed around 150 on all cylinders, no vacuum leaks, cam timing good, cant find anything unhooked, distributor good and timed at 14 degress. any ideas?

Stock injectors and mass air? Double check your distributor phasing and timing.

The relationship of the rotor to TDC.
Was the rotor pointing at the #1 post on the cap and the balancer lined up at 0* BTDC when you stabbed the distributor?

He is at 14* of timing. If he is "a tooth off" the distributor obviously still had the movement to nail 14*. There is not a problem with his timing, distributor "phasing", or even the fact he has stock injectors and mass air.

Ok, but he would still have to have the firing order bass-ackwards to foul all the plugs. If its an old dirty mass air meter, clean it. If the firing order isn't wired correctly and he happened to clip the timing light to the wrong wire what could happen?
