I have a question for RS racers since you guys run the stock cam. I got the Incon 800TTi motor running this weekend, finally. I started it up and it ran like crap. Found out 2 wires were loose on the distributor. I set the timing at 6 degrees and the car still ran like crap and would hardly stay running. I am running the stock cam and I retarded it 4 degrees on the timing chain. Now, this is the part I need some help with. I tried turning up the timing to 14-15 degrees and the car ran a lot better. The idle smoothed out to about 800 rpm. Here is the big quesion. Do you have to advance the ignition timing to compensate for the retarded cam timing? Like I said, if I set the timing at 6-10 deg, it runs like crap. Yes, the spout connector is out. The rockers prob need some adjustment, but I wouldn't think a few loose rockers would make the car run so bad. I have not had the chance to take if for a spin yet. Still have to bleed the brakes.
