Dyno Results.....odd.

Not really, the CAS is idiot proof. It only goes in one way do to the exhaust cam dowel pin chingus. However, aligning the cams is a *****.

ive had my car and friends KA's off just one tooth at the distributor and it would barely idle. i would start it up and then it would die immediately die.

You also have to compound any adjustment of the distributer. If you have it set to the middle or retarded then yes, it will be choppy.

you can put the motor at TDC and then orient the distributor any way you fee like. it doesnt just go in or orient one way.

how are you gonna adjust for it when the distributor is off a tooth? ive had that thing advanced, retarded and in the middle when it was off a tooth and the dang car wouldnt start.where do you think half of the "i cant start my car or it doesnt idle or fire up right" type of threads come from? people get off one tooth and it just wont work. it might start up for 10-15 sec but on any throttle input, it will die.

Ahhh true true... forgot about the difference in them.

SR's install like the distributer.

Cam timing is apparently off some too. We couldn't get the distributor to go in the correct way, which would most likely mean cam timing is off, so no new dyno graphs today my friends, gonna have to adjust cam timing, maybe tomorrow.

explain to me how you are doing the procedure. you are supposed to set the motor at TDC and line up the rotor with where the number one spark plug wire would go on the cap. just pull off the cap, set it to TDC and kinda look from passenger side (cuz the cap will cover the rotor unless you look from this angle) and have someone push the distributor in and fiddle with it until the two line up. its super easy just to be a tooth off so try cranking it up, or keep resetting it to TDC until you get it right.

if you think your cam timing is off, use the JWT cam instructions in relationship to the marks on the cam sprockets to the colored links.

There is no CAS on the KA is there?? I was referring to the RB series when I typed that prior post. Meaning you can't install the CAS wrong like you can the a distributor, only adjust the cams wrong.

Well if you wouldnt have burned the bridges you did around here, you wouldnt have to got to an incompetent tuning shop staffed by idiots.

yes there is. its built into the distributor.

hey man, just get your motor to idle down to 700-750 rpms after you unplug the TPS and then rotate the distributor until its at 20 deg.

the motor needs to be warm first but the problem you were prolly having is due to the fact you were idling at 800-900 rpms. anytime you try adjusting at that rpm, the timing is lower.

whenever you rotate the distributor, it might change the engine speed as well, so always make sure its down to 700-750 rpm range and then plug the TPS back in after its at 20 deg. and you'll be set and notice a big power difference.

hope this helps

Well fiddled wtih the cam timing and aligned them right, I think we were off a tooth. Then proceeded to put the distributor in. Fired it up, then unplugged the TPS, set the idle to about 720rpm (as per Klattr's instructions), and started fiddling with the timing. After every adjustment, I would go and make sure RPM's were around 700-750, after it was all said and done and set at 20 degrees I plugged back in the TPS.

Did a few quick bursts of boost in 3rd gear, just to make sure the A/F's were the same. They were fine and then I did a full 3rd gear pull and it was fine A/F. The butt dyno didn't notice an increase, or decrease. So I hope I did everything right. I guess I will go double check with some other people tonight (I am at work) to make sure the timing is right. Hopefully everythings fine and I can go redyno. Thanks everybody....

Well if you did fix it I guess you have one of them horse *** dynos..(mustang dyno, get it?) :P

Hope you got her fixed dude!
