who wants to come down and fix my camaro lol. help a brotha out. ive been wanting to drive this thing so bad.. but im broke lol. timing needs to be completely redone .. distributor. not the chain.i tried putting it in and it wont start.. i give up

 

Wish I could help you. I was born in NJ and just last December sold my '87 w/2.8. Knew that engine inside and out.

 

ah you're too far away for me to help... maybe when I go to the shore I can stop by.

when the distributor was out, did you try and start the car? If not and the timing was previously set properly, you can put the distributor in the other way and it should be set... you probably have it 180 degrees backwards.

 

nah. it was in right i believe . i had it running like a month ago for like a day.. but i just found out it has a stretched timing chain.. waiting for the funds to fix it.. thank you guys for making an effort to reply

 

and also when i bought the car the distributor was loose. which means it was fooled with. i had a buddy come by and found top dead center and we put it in n it popped out the tail pipe so we 180'd it. so i know its in the right spot.. and i didnt try and start it with the distributor out.
