350cu help

ok so i just replaced my dis. (ignition coil went out)..and set the timing to 6 btdc so it drives normal and better than before but when i floor it..it doesnt cut out but it feels like i floored it took my foot off the gas then floored it again... so i checked my hoses found one that was split replaced it and it seemed like it was fixed but a couple days later i floored it to check and it did it again...? and i think ive been gettin worse fuel eco.

Did you do the base time setting.
Or just throw a timing light on it?

I just did a timing light...whats the base time setting

You have to disconnect the EST bypass wire and set time to base setting.
A good repair will manual explain the bas timing procedure.
Good Luck

ok so i continued adjusting the timing but nothing...so i was just goin to change the spark plugs but i noticed the spark wires were messed up...the shop that put in my distributor switched two wires ...so i switched them back and i started it with the old plugs but it was fine but really jerky...so i ran it and i fixed the previous problem but its really jerky so i switched the plugs but it was the same....at idle every once in a while it has a big jerk.and it died once..? could my timing just be really atdc im just new to doin my timing so idk

Did you disconnect the EST bypass wire and set the base timing?

Year make and model need here.:lol2:

1982 chevy el camino with a rebuilt chevy 350 out of a 86 i think c/10

my number 5 cylinder is missfiring so im takin it to a shop to check compression and stuff

On the old ones with a vacuum advance you pull the hose and plug it then set the timing. I would also suggest checking the plug wires with a diagram.
After the timing is set hook up the hose for the vacuum advance.

1981-1/2 AND 82 HAVE COMPUTERS.

Older HEI dist's use the vacuum advance which as said needs to be unpluged for base timing.
