okay, i just added some gsr cams into my b16a (i got them for free from my friend), and when i installed the cams, everything looked tdc...i used a timing light and the marks were to the firewall side of the block...i at first thought it was advanced, so i turned the distributor a little to the firewall side of the block and the car sounded like it was going to die, so i turned it back to the bumper side and it started sounding a little better...i have the distrubutor all the way turned to the bumper side and it sounds like the car is knocking a little. the question is, is my timing retarded or advanced? I really have no clue, because the marks on the crank pulley are off the mark...sorry for the descriptions, really didnt know how to explain them...also, i have a fuel controller, so is there a way to get the knocking out by adjusting the fuel?
