    Will do, but someone I spoke with told me I could have clogged injectors. They spray but it isn't a fine mist I think it may be due to the injectors had been cleaned in a parts wash that was cleaned by a greasy old diff.

      Well there it is. Tried what Moving said with an extension and found it was off by quite a bit of degrees. I then used an engine hoist to lift the left side of the engine take off the mount and lowered it so I could get to the crank pullys and after removing everything found what is in the photo. Made a new key and put it in almost done but the darn tensioning spring is being a bother. Should have it running tomorrow.

        Wow, but that is a good bit easier than internal problems. Your compression will come back up and it will be like the most amazing tune up ever!

          Yes I can't wait I will "gain" 5hp according to specs between carb engine and injected engine and have a functional festiva again. The engine was well maintained be the previous owner, but I still plan to do a full round maintenance on the car gradually. Going to change transmission fluid and do an aspire swap that I keep hearing about. <---- When will this guy shut up? I guess I talk a bit much I get really excited about this car.
