Iv'e never installed a dist 180* out before so i honestly can't say your wrong, i just can't see how a motor could attain any real rpm if the spark was happeng on the exhaust stroke with the exhaust valve still open.

The o2 is giving an indication like I said will pick up a new on today. Did get it to idle and checked for Vac leak using propane no leaks. it was in closed loop and did get to open loop when installed the original ECM back in. Trying to get the TPS set right couldn't find the speck's but it will idle at about 850. In order to get it to runn had to disconnect the MAF and then could get the idle set after pulling the EST. My buddys SNAP-On scanner is a GOD SEND it is giving us alot of data that we are sorting thru. Man I am going to start to look for something like that but not CHEAP. I am gonna O HIM BIG TIME!!. WRO

If you have a laptop your half way there. You can build or buy the interface cable and then use Craig Moates software or Datamaster. The software is free and the parts to build the cable is about $5
