Timing for a JH

[pbureau@attbi.com (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

well I would start by setting the timing to TDC, then see if it tries to
stall still when cold, check the air flow plate clearence (yeah there is an
actual gaping required on it (covered in the bentley, easy enough to
adjust)..

=>Just curious what the timing should be for a 85 rocco with a JH 8v in it.
=>My friend has one and it's a bitch to keep running once it starts, the car
=>sputters, backfires a little (through the t-body) and generally won't stay
=>running until you've started it enough times that you can finally hold the
=>throttle at keep her around 1500rpm for about 5 min, then she will idle on
=>her own.  There are some ground wire issues, but for all the
=>sputtering and
=>backfires, I think there is a timing issue as well.
