cool thanks. Now i need a good diagram on how the plug wires are supose to run. Because looking at yours i think the engine is trying to run off #2 cylinder and not #1. So that is possibly my running issues.

yeah i have been driving the car all day!!! Thanks daddybair7 for the pics they were very useful. Basically what happened is the plug wires were on backwards from the previous owner so when i went to do the wires the first time they were still messed up. But once i got all the old sensors changed that made it run bad then the messed up wires decided to make it run like . So i got the wires all straightened out as daddybair7 sent me. Re dropped the dizzy got it close for timing then she started right up. Took it down the road and man runs a hell of alot better than it used to. So i dug out the timing lite and got her zeroed in at *10. But now i really need a boost controller. The turbo spools but it spools very slowly. i want it to come on a little quicker. But thats the news for today.

sorry bout my mistake on the timing chain, i cant read:hick:

You can still be off one tooth on the dizzy and still be able to compensate by how you adjust the dizzy housing.  Atleast thats what everyone else says although Ive never been that luck, ive always had to be dead on or my motors run a little weak.

I'd double check by rotating the crank by hand and when you get to zero and #1 TDC, verify the orientation of the rotor button with respect to #1 plug wire post.

I had a similar problem when I changed out my wires because the #1 position as it should have been marked on the cap was not actually #1 and all the wires were all one position off.
