What spark plug gap are you running, out of curiousity?

I am running .39 plug gap. What should I be running if not that?

Around .045" to .050", I think US B16A's run around .050".

You've already checked the condition of the plugs and wires, along with the firing order... right?

ya check the firing order you said you messed with those i bet you got two of them firing wrong so i bet you got two of them mixed up. pull all four spark plugs out while its running to check for spark to all of them.

It's easier to use a timing gun, a spark tester, or a spare plug.

Yea, the wires were getting spark, but my friend plugged them in opposite. So now it is running on 4 cylinders. The distributer makes a loud screaching noise and kicks it on to 3 cylinders sometimes, no worries, I have my new dizzy for my PR3 coming from Rywire today. I did a compression test on my car and got a 270 all the way across the top, what do normal cars run? Just curious. Anywayz, I appreciate all the help with stuff, it is runnig good now, just gotta break in the motor. Now onto my next project, Prolly put in a JDM 4.875 Type R Final drive, and a 3.077 first gear on my S1 tranny, Also might throw a LSD in it too. I need to get busy on another project now that this will be all done today. Any ideas on what I should do next?

Just a quick update on the situation, I was driving to Daytona and my car got F*&ked up. Just shut off. Now it is sitting 30 miles away from home in a parking space, waiting for a dizzy, if not she has to get towed home.

You kinda had that comming to you, driving around with a screwed dizzy.

You live in Florida? Whereabouts? I have some family in Daytona and Titusville, last time I visited them I dropped by the Speedworld 1/4 mile.
