[Iroc-z86]

update:

ok i tried flipping the dizzy around. no dice. timing is and was good enough to at least start it and get it running. so i took my dizzy, cap, and coil to sirico bros in ledgewood, im really good friends with the owner, he tested them all for me, came back and said the ignition control module is bad, he lent me one. put the car back together estimated where the timing would be and finally kicked over to get some pops. after messing with the carb and idle and timing it finally starts up and idles on its own.....but....it has a wicked misfire somewhere. the whole car shakes and no matter what i do with carb i cant get it go away. the engine has very little power as well. i turned the steering wheel a little and it basically stalled out.

im thinking its two things: wires and plugs, but the plugs are new ac delcos. OR i could have messed up the roller rockers when i put them on. Im pretty sure that the rockers are good, i tightened them down to zero or little lash then went 1/2 turn past that and put the set screw down. I have to check it again tomorrow, short of taking the valve cover off with the motor running does anyone have a good rule of thumb to set them?

but i think that is my problem, i cant get the idle too much lower than 1k otherwise it will stall, and the motor runs pretty hot as well, only took 5 min to open the 180 thermo.

sorry for the length and thanks
