When installing the Distributor the marks are supposed to be aligned like the pic below BEFORE the TEETH MESH with cam gear. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e82/silverquest/PQ%20manual%20pics/album_pic-15.jpg once seated all the way in and the cam - dizzy gears are meshed properly, the marks do not align anymore. it should look like the pic below. in the Pic below... it is hard to see but the Dimple has rotated slightly towards the front of the head. or front of the car. this is normal once the gears have meshed. the proper installation of the distributor. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e82/silverquest/PQ%20manual%20pics/album_pic2-5.jpg if you notice in the pic above at far right of edge in pic is the distributor for spark. the rotor ALIGNS with the phillips screw. the red line is in line with the rotor and the phillips screw. the screw faces to the right in the above pic. this is how it needs to be with the engine at top dead center. please contact me with any questions or if i need to make corrections to what i wrote above.

I want to find a good spot for connecting the light for the gauges. Looking for an easy connection to get to for turning the gauge lights on When the bead lights are on. Thanks for the help.

i installed a oil pressure gauge in the side of the block and mounted the sender on the fire wall. i got the Kunigawa -4 A/N by 1/8 BSPT ( tapered ) http://www.ebay.com/...6-/181900298482 then ordered the 4 an hose from Pegasus racing pre-made. can get them from anywhere. just measure the length you need and get the closest to your needs it is PTFE teflon lined SS hose https://www.pegasusa...n.asp?Product=4 1/8 NPT Female to -4 A/N adapter http://www.summitrac...04erl/overview/ depending on your sender pressure device most are 1/8 NPT and some are tapered. so be sure to get the proper adapter. on a side note i linked a different hydraulic web site in the past. i can no longer find my link that had a great selection of adapters but i cant find it anymore.

well for starters modified 86 FIP TBi pro with ignition. problem is when driving normal there is no real boost. even floored it only makes 4 Psi maybe 5 under heavy load. things that have been done... new exhaust manifold gasket, studs, nuts, washers. manifold has been surfaced. new turbo TD06 20G, waste gate, turbine housing all new. checked all intercooler couplers and clamps tight. new manifold to turbo gasket. new turbine to down pipe gasket. vacuum when idling and under cruise is normal compared to my cars readings. air fuel ratios seem proper. what happened?: while driving the car before all the above was done it all of a sudden lost most like a coupler popped off. thought it was the turbo and after that found the exhaust manifold gasket needed repair. put in all new listed above and same exact symptoms. like a coupler popped of or has massive vac leak? tested intercooler from end to end and it is holding boat pressure no problems. don't know what else to check. maybe a clogged cat? no sign of leaks on intake or T body. it looks clean as new. can bad hydraulic lifters cause this problem? any suggestions would be great!!! Thanks!

Well after the car has sat for a while. And it cools down I go to start it and it bellows a giganic cloud of blueish smoke. kind of lost. It seems to only happen when the car is cold. Water is proper level. Oil is at proper level. Could it be fuel?
