swapped 1986 engine into 1989 vehicle - ignition timing seems off 200

Rotating the distributor on an '89 shouldn't make a difference as the ECU determines spark from the CPS input.

Set the rotor to point at the scribe mark on the distributor rim at Top Dead Center. The ECU will take care of the timing.

Check that the flywheel has been bolted on in the correct position to line up with TDC.

Does compression increase if a little oil is added to each cylinder?
