I've gotten my fastback running - okay, Idling pretty well. I was having troubles with the plugs fouling almost immediately with black soot. I got the injectors cleaned, checked the distributor as best I knew how, and made new paper gaskets for the intake runners. Now, when I check my timing, it appears (with a strobo light) to be about 15-20 degrees to the left of where it should be. I mean, the engine seems to run very well, but the marks just appear out in space, not near the case parting line. I didn't have a chance to take it for a test drive, so I'll stick with my "idles well" story. Any ideas on this timing? As far as I can tell, and I dug through old posts, the Bentley and Muir manuals the gear is in the right position. I'm stuck, and I'll need something to daydream about until I get back to Yankeeland next month. Ideas?
