hello fellow t3er I used to have a t-1 super but when I took my car to a shop to get the eng timed They set it to "factory" specs. Now this is okay if the car came out of a "factory" but when other variables are considered like carb warpage, poor ign. setup (not new or newer), exhaust, if the eng is warmed up or not, electrical not optimal, etc.,,,,. I am sorry to load this down on you but these are a cause for a poor running eng :-( . I know you just want to get the car running to get at least a good test drive or to pass emmisions. No matter what this is still possible. Just like the guys before get into a manual. If you can't buy a Bently because of price or availability, you still could probably get the book at your local library. Sweet huh? I didn't know this until one of my good friends practically had to point it out to me. Lastly you may not have to set the timing to 28 deg depending at the altitiude you live at. Remember you set the dist at a higher degree when you are at a higher altitude. Volkswagen set their timing at 2 deg (or close) because one of their plants where they did thier assebly was close to sea level. Man I really hope your car gives you as much love as you give it. Anyway good luck and sorry to hear about your bad experience at this forum. This is one of the best forums I have ever been on.
