once it's at least starting again check the timing too. I can't remember if it's the same or not but usually there's a lock bolt that you loosen and then you can turn the distributor cap to adjust the timing. i honestlydo wish you the best and wish there was more i could do :/

i was just looking at your garage and i was curious what lip that is? mine's an 85 with the same drivetrain as yours, but i have sidedraft webers instead of a holley 4 bbl. I got it during this deployment so between it and my FD I'll have plenty to keep me busy for awhile haha
By lip do you mean front spoiler?I couldnt tell ya.Thats how i bought the car.Really the body on this car is straight.It only has one problem spot,its on the drivers side where the bumper raps around.I already paid for the car,i just hope yhe person i bought the car from gets it running right so i can have it in my driveway."LOL"

The person i bought this car from,bought it drove it then parked it.It started and ran good.He unbolted carb and intake,swapped it with RacingBeat intake and carb,thats it.I have no clue.

My friends going to clean out the carb and try that before he gets a rebuild kit.This stinks.At least he is making sure yhe car is right before he sends it to me.Thanks again for all the help.
