I recently had my 1984 22r completely gone through. when re-assembling it, I followed all recommendations regarding the reinstallation of the distributor(place rotor at 12:OO etc.)
Now I can't rotate the distributor far enough to acheive TDC. The best I can do is about 7-8 degrees advanced. Today I pulled the distributor and tried to move the rotor one gear tooth Clockwise. Now the best I can do is is 7-8 degrees retarded. Can't get to O degrees TDc to save my life....any advice? By the way I am almost positive that the timing chain and gears were installed correctly.
