Well my rig has been a little down on power here lately and has been using the shit out of some gas(gettin about 12mpg mixed, with a really light foot), so i went to a buddys and was going to check the timing. Well we got the light on and we made a mark on the crank pully, and when we put the light on it, our mark was about 2" lower then the timing marks start. when we turned the disty clockwise it started running like ass. counter clockwise all the way it was the same as it was when we started. we couldnt even get the timing to where it was even close to the timing marks. My buddy/mechanic said my timing could have jumped and i need a new timing chain. im wondering if a previous owner removed the disty and put it back in wrong. any ideas on what i should do?
