Distributor Question
Ok So got her all back together and in time, but was curious whether I shoud rotate the dist all the was toward the fire wall or the front of the car? Right now it is bolted down in the middle
ugh... you would have been better off not starting a new thread, and asking this in one of the other three or ten threads you have regarding your single issue.
depends on which way it needs to be timed (more retard or more advance). grab a timing light (as you have been told), get it timed. you'll immediately see which way it will need to go.

BTW why would you ***** about me asking questions that many new sc 0wners will run into seeing as how its going to be an 11-20 year old car, yet threads for wheels/paint etc turn out to be pages upon pages. I thought this was a tech forum
why am I *****ing? because your question had already been answered in your other threads, and if you didn't get the "answer" to this question, it is 100% relevant to the exact same problem others would have when they do the same thing you did. therefore, if this question were in the other thread, people could see your thread, and say, "Oh, I need to set the base timing, AND adjust the ignition timing, too!!!"
brilliant how that works together, huh?
and I am not saying the threads don't get old, with all the retarded, ill fitting wheels, super mad tyte photo ops, etc. but most people will start their own thread and post more of those type in that same thread.

I'm saying, if you look on the first page, all the tech related threads have the least responses, compared to the other threads. Not that I have a problem with/wheel/paint/what to look for threads, I dont see a point in bumping an old thread then holding my breath until someone answers.
Besides if I start enough threads that get answered even lousy search users like me will still find answers...and save grumps like you the time of posting "blah blah search feature blah blah"
Seriously though, I do appreciate you answering my question

OP, sorry if I came off a little pissy (because I was), but a thread isn't necessarily "dead" unless there's nothing more to be gleaned from it.
I, too agree this is a tech forum, you'll notice from my posts (if you bother to check), I would estimate that I post 50% tech, 50% aesthetics (for lack of a better description on "other"). and considering the forum is 25% (or less) tech... yeah...
So, if I hurt some feelings, I apologize. as turbodremz said, it's the internet, chill
so, 2jz, you gonna chill, whit me?
