Send it to the crusher
Honestly, tow it to someone in town. It starts and runs, but so poorly that I don't want to drive it. Maybe we broke/misaligned something in the timing mechanism? or when it backfired after the 180 misalignment we threw something out of whack. Or I'm being a total idiot. But we followed the removal/reinstall directions (except for that 180 bit), didn't mess with the sprocket, do know how to align/adjust timing (we did it before with the IP in on the dyno).
The $*(%@ reluctant race car has fought us every step of the way.
Thanks for everyone's help though, and I've learned a TON about what might fail on the track and what to do. I'll hopefully know by Friday if the IP is sound. We have a back up that's saturated in veggie oil and has sat in a none running car for 5 years (not an option). We were saving it for an upgrade. *ugh*
