16valves of hatred

[nicadimus@hotmail.com (Elijah R)]

I am glad to see anouther roc doing like mine, although I do not wish the 
problem on any one. Mine is very similar, and have tried and tried to fix 
the timing, When at TDC my roter points at 3/4 of the way towards number 3 
wire not number one. This is the only way to get the car to run at all, I 
replaced all the vacume lines and am going to check the "small nibbin" 
tonight afterwork. I was about to take it to a mechanic and let them time it 
because I was thinking it was my lack of experence with timming 16v's. Any 
other tips will be greatly welcome.
