So I just did some quick calculations, factoring in the time I've wasted messing with this thing, and I realized the opportunity cost of continuing to mess with this vehicle is not worth it,...

Yes. I'm at 24 btdc. I've done this several times, hence my frustration. Over a year ago, I replaced the oil filter canister gasket and the IP gasket. I had a hard time retiming it then, but ever...

What's the procedure for adjusting this spring? Should it be pushed back in or pulled out further?

The car only has 177k on it. I don't care enough about it to mess with the chain. I barely use it except for the occasional trip to STL and back, and it leaks when it rains. I'd say 177k is too early...

UPDATE

So I removed the IP and set the engine to 24 BTDC (ears on cam lobes pointing up). I then set the tooth on the injection pump to match with the mark, replaced gasket, remounted pump, timed it to one...

I used Lemforder mounts and also replaced the trans mount and engine shocks. That was last summer. It shook at idle for a while, even after a new IP adjustment bolt, but it didn't "idle rough." In...

IP Timing: Need Some Advice

So over a year ago, I pulled the IP and the Oil Filter Housing to replace a bunch of leaky oil seals. I put it back together and timed it to 26 - BTDC. The car ran okay after that, though there was a...
