I have an 1980 Pontiac trans am, powered by a 400 small block chevy.. Its got some problems, first of all. I have it idling in park at around 13-1500 rpms, only because when i shift it into drive, the idling drops right down to almost stalling idle at 5-600 rpms.. Its lacking in power and sometimes when I acclerate, it will backfire and hestitate.. Im guessing its a timing issue, it has a mallory twin point distributor jobbie on it, does that require a different method of timing or just the same?? because it has no vaccum advance?? No i dont much about them, but i know the local speed shop is trying to rip me when they say it needs a recondtion!!! the whole bottom end is sweet and it blows no smoke.. I really like this car and dont wanna wreck it!!!
