Hi Tony <br>
OR you can drag your BUTT over to the Shed and Borrow the Timing light
with the Little knob on the back and the Digital One that shows the
advance and rpm. I also have 2 tons of 1.9L parts laying around that you
can do the ol Plug and Play till your hearts content. <br>
I think Ive even got a full wire harness from a 84 that ran like a top.
Hell motors still setting back there.<br>
But that is up to you.<br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Hello Ken,<br><br>
Thanks for the reply. I have some questions for you. I looked at
your Dec<br>
26, 2007 newsletter and also at your reply now and like to be clear
about<br>
something.<br><br>
You say that the V notch is the timing mark and that the U mark is the
TDC.<br>
My pulley has the V notch to the left of the U mark.....so like
this;<br>
V----->U (one on the front the other on the rear of the
pulley)<br><br>
So If I am getting this right, U is TDC, then would V be 5* BTDC? So
for<br>
proper timing the V notch should be 2* more to the right side of the
engine<br>
halves? That would equal = 7* BTDC<br><br>
I just want to make sure that I am wrapping my brain around this
correctly.<br><br>
Lastly then, the U TDC mark is there for valve ajustments.<br><br>
I just need to return the timing to specs, since I fiddled with it so
much.<br>
The van iddles pretty much fine both cold and hot in the present
seetings,<br>
but sucks while under load as soon as geeting it out of 1st gear. I
ahve<br>
check the grounds and they all looked good and intact. I'll check
them<br>
again.<br><br>
My 85 has the under the TB possition switch, not checked yet.<br>
I will try and buy a new temp II sender and install it.<br>
I have 3 afm that I have switch with the problems being the same.<br>
I have tryed 2 differnt O2 sensors<br>
I haveto pick up a set of new wires locally.<br><br>
Thanks again,<br>
Tony<br><br>
