Re: my d16a6 build
i got a pressure washer and degreaser, im just a lazy ----.
yeah thats where i have the idle. how do i adjust the timing? with the ecu or should i get a adj. cam gear? the dizzy is cranked all the way.

thanks for any help you can give
the car ran like a beast when it was running, i got some great WTF looks from these jeep guys up the street, it really looks like a ---- box but it flys.

Re: my d16a6 build
Be careful not to give too much timing or your motor will detonate.
To set ignition timing you first have to jump the harness near the heater blower.
Then with a timing light see what the timing reads. If your dizzy cant move any more just adjust the cam gear and
check your timing again. My cam gear is retarded 7 degrees or so and my ignition timing is 16 degrees.
But what do I know?

Adjustable cam gear is nice if your head/block was decked/milled but otherwise you don't really need one.

Re: my d16a6 build
Pretty nice build on this one. 
I still agree with others on degreasing the engine bay but whatever, I'm sure you'll get around to it sometime.
How are the motor mounts holding up with that masking glue ----? Does it vibrate rough?
