Good morning all.

I have an '85 Vanagon GL that I have just put a brand new Boston Bob 1.9
in it.

Long story short, I have extremely low power delivery. Can't pull 2nd gear
up any hills, and just feels VERY anemic.

I've set my timing as per Bentley, and the posts I've found on the
discussion groups, but did notice that the distrobutor shaft on the new
motor is not lining up exactly as per Bentley, but looks to be a few
degree's to the left of the lineup mark, when cyl #1 is at TDC, which in
turn has me compensate the timing probably 10 additional degree's advanced
(Turning distributor to the left)

The motor then runs very smooth and absoultly purs.

My plug wires are connected as such: Picture the distributor cap as a
clock,  #1 plug is on the 1 o'clock distributor post, #4 plug is on the 5
o'clock, #3 is on the 7 o'clock, and #2 is on the 11 o'clock.

And I know before I call Bob I need to go thru the entire checkout of the
F.I. system as per Bentley, and make sure all my readings and voltages are
proper. (Because I know the first question he will ask me is if I have
done that yet !!!<LOL>)

I have a new fuel prssure regulator, new O2 sensor, waterpump, thermostat,
distributor cap and rotor, new plugs and wires, etc.

Folks, I'm lost !!!

What am I missing ?
