    Why does this sound like the Disty is almost 180* out? I know its not really possible, but it almost sounds like a Cam issue, or timing, almost as if the disty isn't clocked right in the cam?

      ........what If the cam belt slipped so the missing tooth is not in the correct place? (I really don't know anything, just trying to think outside the box....

        I've checked the timing belt several times and it's set. I haven't touched the cam gears or cam shaft :/

        That is what it sounds like.... I even tried to figure out if it could get in there 180* out. I currently have 3 distributors. The original (hall) and a new (optical) both have to be "advanced" to the same point for it to start and run normal. A third new (hall, off the interwebs) has to be "retarded" (rotated toward the radiator) for it to start and run.

          care to take a picture of the inside of the disty showing the rotor placement while the motor is at TDC (#1 piston) and then your spark plug wire orientation

              Reading the hole thing again, is anyone else of the opinion that if it worked, then it didn't, and none of your dizzys solve the problem that it may not be that?

              Do you have any way of testing the ecu? Perhaps someone can plug it into their car to prove it works? I kinda wonder was the deal too good to be true...?

                He said he tried the BP10 ECU with no change.

                One thing about the VAF is that adjusting it so that your idle is at around 14 AFR will not necessarily make the WOT correct.

                When I was running my N/A BP setup with the U/K hybrid VAF if I adjusted the A/F ratio till I had my WOT AFR where I wanted and it had good power, then it did not want to idle and would almost always stall or have hiccups. To fix this problem, I had to adjust the idle screw in the VAF to get the idle mixture correct or at least get the car where it would behave while idling and no longer stall out. Adjusting the idle mixture will not affect the WOT mixture.

                I dont know if it will fix your issue but its something that might be worth looking into.

                  I've tried two other bp10 ecu's. I don't know why the timing is being funky.

                  I'll have to play with it and see.


                  I've got some down time while I wait on some parts to get here... So I decided it'd be a good time to fill my mounts.... Looks like it might make a bit of difference... :D


                  I decided to paint the parts that I pull off for some rust protection (not that it's much to worry about around here) and to make them look better. After I painted one thing I started pulling more things off and painting them (don't worry... nothing that's used as a ground).
                  Then I noticed not only how grimy the engine bay is, but how nice it looks underneath the grime... I started scrubbing with a brush, some soap, and some water. I've never been one to care how anything looks if it's functional... But dang... This cleaning thing is addicting. Now I want to take everything off and clean it....

                    I took my motor mounts off and filled them. Got them put back on last night.
                    My auto TB with 4 wire TPS came in today (thanks 1st Gen)!!

                    Got a 110A alternator in the mail today, too.
                    Ready to put those on tonight.

                    My exhaust goodies will be here Wednesday. I'm ready to get it plumbed and see how it sounds! [emoji106]

                      Is this thing running right yet? I feel like I missed that part. Or still having issues starting?

                        Still have an issue of some sort. It starts and runs (and seems to be fine) with the distributor fully advanced. Rotating it back to ~14* (according to the timing cover) it starts knocking... It also won't start at ~14*.

                                Dang. I drove around the block and it's still bucking like I have a leak somewhere. I checked all my piping last night and found none. This is frustrating.

                                I can kind of ride the clutch... But when there's load on it, it starts bucking (or stuttering) and won't go anywhere
