ive got a 308 in a vk commodore which was running badly when i got it. had lack of power and bad fuel economy. i started with the basics to try to fix it. TIMING. i checked the timing with a light and it wouldnt show me anything. even moving the distributor the full amount each way still had nothing. i then looked up the firing order. it says 12784536 in clockwise direction with number 1 being front drivers side. i then checked the car and it has the firing order at 12456378 in a anticlose direction with number one at the front passenger side. i then thought thats why it ran bad so i set it according to what it read and it gave all the symptons of timing out with alot of backfiring so i moved it 180 degrees and still the same thing. but when i put it back the way it was it would run again but very rough. i then got a friend who knows alot about v8's tp have a go and he had exact same problems. we also lined everything up against 2 other v8 engines and mine was setup totally different. does anyone know any reasons i could be getting these problems and having everything completely different. before i got the car the previous owner had put aqnother manifold and carby on but sames he did not touch the cam timing and the car went just the same as before he did anything. ive also checked to see if piston is at tdc and it seems to be. somebody please help me as i just wanna get this thing going so its nicely drivable.
