Hold on! I like hugs too but if you would answer his question:

Then we would have a MUCH better idea of what to suggest to you to make this a less painful situation and arrive at a solid solution.

We WANT to help you.

We CAN help you.

We WILL help you, if:::::::::::::::::::::::: you play along with the 20 questions game. There is a certain "best" method to installing the injection pump and timing it. ANYTHING ELSE will end up with big problems (as you are seeing now) and is the cause for premature deaths of many of these cars. It is not so complicated but it is "out of the ordinary" for most mechanics and many think they can get the job done using methods that have worked for years on other cars. But, here even good intentions can cause bad results.

This engine will not run well if it is not timed correctly. To time it correctly requires the proper (specialty) tools, and following the correct method in the correct order. NO CHEATING! Unless you are lucky.

So let's approach this like a science problem, take a step at a time, observe, note the results, and report back.

Again,
