Re: Hysterical History

Just remember, the Chevy Citation had a Iron Duke in it. They were indestructible, but they didn't have any power. That's probably why so many 2.5s were mated to a manual trans.

Re: Timing doesn't seem to be advancing

Thanks, DracOnic

Yes, we were using a timing light. When we rev it, the timing mark doesn't move past the "V" plate. Will check the wire for 5V to see if that is the problem.
