Yeah that will do it. I'm surprised that it would even start with the cam 180 degrees off, or didn't he start it. |

After resetting the cam and plug wires per mcmancuso's instructions, I got the car started today! It took me a few days longer than anticipated to complete as I had to replace a bad water pump and tie up a few other loose ends under the hood. So I am happy to report that my '93 to '91 engine swap is successful! I have a new issue now (a fast idle); but I will save that for another post. Thanks again to mcmancuso and everyone else for the guiding information and advice. It is much appreciated! |
