Hello,
Does this diagram also cover the '92 1.0L? I tried installing per the diagram, but the distributor was off by 180 degrees. The distributor is keyed for one position only. I rotated the cam to get the distributor correct. Compression values are now 191, 192, 195, which seems high. This would be indicative of advanced cam timing, as you stated. Any idea what I am doing wrong? I have not fired the motor yet. My Chiltons manual is vague, stating only to align the marks, but gives no indication of which marks.
Thanks,
Ray
