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. |

@Stratfink - No apologies - it's gotta be timing.
I did use a timing light and rotated in an effort to confirm/sync but i couldn't get enough of a steady idle to really be confident in setting anything. And even if/when i was close, it wasn't a steady enough of an idle to call it a win. @914_teener - I'll be honest, I'm starting to wonder if I"m working off the/a correct TDC marking...and yes I'll admit that I have very little experience but I am "mechanical" and can follow directions and make logical deductions. I readily admit that when this is resolved, I'll be found to be the issue. I truly appreciate any offer to come to me and help - I'd love for that to be the case and there is lots available in LA where I live most of the year but the 914 is on a bit of a 914 island in SE Indiana at another property so I only get at it for short bursts. |
