Hi all,

I have had a new distributor fitted today at my local rolling road and now the car has developed a problem .......I havn't even picked it up yet !!!! When the guy rang me he said he had set the timing as to what he thought it should be at. He then tested it on the rollers and said it drove fine up to about 18 or 19psi and then it started popping & banging / missfiring. The car should hit and hold 22psi !! All the leads, plugs, dizzy cap, rotor arm are reasonably new so it wont be them, he did say that the air charge temperature went up to about 50 degrees as its inside etc.. where as I only see about 30 max on the road under boost, could it be something to do with this ? or could the timing be altered / advanced some more from where he has set it as to stop the missfiring etc at high boost ?

p.s - I dont really understand 'timing' so forgive me if any of the above sounds a bit !!!
