74 2.0 D-Jet
Heading to the garage now to start the install and my main, unresolved-in-my-brain question is if i need to hook up the vacuum line that is on my current stock distributor, on the 123. |

Well - I got it where it'll start now but that's about it.
Again - redid the green light setup with 123 in proper (not 180 out) orientation. Doesn't want to idle - it fluctuates. At best. Doesn't seem to take a curve where I can confirm/sync timing. Can't rev smoothly to an RPM that I can use to confirm timing with a light. Seems really dead between 1300-2500 I've backed out the idle screw in an effort to get it to idle - even if high - no real effect. I pulled the 4 and then the 3 spark plug wire while it's trying to run and it didn't seem to make much difference. Did I do something during my 180-out experience? It kicked back pretty firmly a few times and I had one pretty big backfire.... This is starting to get really frustrating - you do something to try to improve one thing and another thing goes...and maybe due to my own stupidity. |
