I put my 300 zx back together and can get it started but it looks like my timing is off a bit. I have it adjusted all the way over but I think I may be off a tooth on the gear. What do you guys think? Also, does anyone have a diagram of vacuum hoses? I think I have a vacuum leak.

Turn engine over until the timing marks on the crank pulley are at 20 degrees BTDC. Take off cap. Note where contact is for cylinder number 1. Make sure rotor is pointing at that contact point.

Vacuum diagrams are available in the factory service manuals. Download the appropriate year from here:http://www.xenonz31.com

Thanks, I just got home and looked just before I logged on. Distributor is fine. Cranks real easy but will not idle and runs alittle rough. I will look for the vacuum hose diagrams.
