DAMNIT!

i spoke to soon. it's running but i have no power. no get up and go at all. it starts,idels,runs,doesn't over heat, but it has no power, it's like there is a soft ball in my intake and it's getting no air or something.

sounds like timing is off... where did you time it to on the crank pulley?

the TDC mark on the crank pulley is the one by itself, not the 3 next to eachother...
