Unless the nailing is due to the timing being TOO advanced, I'm stumped. The car drives great, just gets awful mileage. If I floor it from a full stop I get a nice black cloud but that's it.
Did you slacken all four bolts (one at back of pump)?

The bolt will turn a couple of times without doing anything until slack is taken up, pump might need a nudge ti release.

Anti clockwise to advance.
