Pls help! Water and oil everywhere.

Re: Pls help! Water and oil everywhere.

That's what I am having a problem finding. Any suggestions on what phrase to google. Does 8 or 10 degrees before TDC sound accurate. I have been reading some other threads about not being able to time the motor. This not my case. I do not have a crankshaft sensor. I have an older modle distributer and turning it a hair left or right does make a difference. I have it timed pretty close by ear. However, it used to idle at 800 rpm. Now it is idle at a hair under 1000 rpms. Any advise, should I adjust the timing first, then the carb?

Thanks, but I just bought one online at harbor freight for 29.99. I don't even want to check amazon because I'm probably gonna find one cheaper. But 30 bucks isn't bad at all. I've paid more for less on a tool I've only used once. Hopefully you guys can check out my old timing light when it goes on display at the smithsonian.

You did align the new engine, didn't you?
