ok i have a 92 camaro rs with the 305tbi. the other day i was driveing and it was chugging and stuff so i decided to replace the cap\rotor, well i got the cap off and the rotor was shot, then i notised the distributor can be moved by hand, does this just mean its loose? how do i go about adjusting it? i gotta redo the timeing correct? and set it at top dead center.

any information will help

 

ok i got the cap and rotor in, and screweed down, i turn the distributor to the left all the way it idles at like 500rpms in park and has no power at all, i turn it to the right all the way it idles at 2000rpms, its at the center right now and its at a ruff 1000rpms in park and 700rpms in drive. which i think is still prety high...

 

ps, whats the fireing order for my car, ne one have a diagram?

 

firing order is standard on sbcs, 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2

you should set your timing to the correct spec for your car, if it's bone stock. something like 0*...?

 

firing order is fine, the car starts np, but like it has no power now, at all. i dont know how to do timeing my syself and all my friends are busy. can anyone give me a little introduction on what to do. and no i cant aford a hanes manual right now and im selling the car ne ways. thx

 

look at the sticker on the hood, i believe tbi's you have to disconnect this 1 wire connector and set the timing, you need a timing light

 

i know that, but how do you tighten it down. mines very loose right now

 

at the base of the dizzy there is a bolt 9/16 that holds down the clamp. on top of intake manifold.

disconnect wire thats out of harness above ac housing at passenger firewall to set timing.

 

 

im sory dialed in if your thinking im a idiot lol. i just never really got into igntions. ive done everything else, just never had to do a ignition before. now the nut your talking about, is it under the cap on the top of the distributor? right now i have it running good, i just wana tighten it down and get a light on it.

 

no its at the very base of the distributor, where it comes out of the intake manifold. the bolt holds a clamp attached to the manifold. look from passinger side. its a real pain in the *** to get to.

 

ahh, thats explains A. why i couldent find it B. why it wasent tigtened down in the first place
