Why do I need the timing basket again? I removed it since I replaced my vac pump a while back... now I'm thinking of removing the IP to re-seal leaks and "center" the IP... my IP was installed "off-center" such that I "think" i'm a few degrees RETARDED and the IP is ALL THE WAY maxed towards the engine block.

Btw, what do you guys suggest I do with the IP leak up-top where that large, round, electronic plug sits? And yeah... remove the ALDA as well? I know my ALDA "works" as disconnecting the vac line to it does starves the engine at speed... though I do not know to what "degree" it works... might as well remove it?
