A little bit of an intro to my dilemma:
Not long ago I finally installed helicoils and fixed the plug ports + cylinder compression. The m10 still didnt want to rev past 3000k. Then I figured that I had to mess with ignition timing.
So while a lot of m10 data is available, they seem to vary in the 2002s, 84 318s and 85 318s in dizzy direction of rotation and rev speeds for seeing the marks on the flywheel.
I have concluded that on my 85 318 m10, the motor spins clockwise while dizzy spins counter clockwise. All of my wires are connected correctly on the dizzy cap in the correct firing order 1342. When the motor is at TDC, the rotor arm is at the plug 1, another 360 and its at plug 4.
I tried to time it by ear and was able to get to 4000 rpms but then motor begins to ping so I back off a little and it never gets to 6.5k. The sticker in the engine bay says for ignition timing, set rpms to 4000 +-50 and adjust to 26 degrees BTDC.
When I rev it to 4K and then try to play with the dizzy, im still unable to see the marks on the flywheel.
What do I go from here? Any advice or help is greatly appreciated.
PS. I also have the ICV delete, I disconnect the vac advance, and I adjusted the valves to .008".
