This car's been around. It was a brought over from Sweden via "diplomat delivery" program when new. It's a little odd, some of the things I've found on this car aren't on most of the 740s I see here. It lived in Boston MA most of it's life, and the second owner lived in Ft Lauderdale. I bought it late last summer and drove it back to Connecticut.
I put marks on both the inner metal pully (where the timing mark is) and the outer pulley, and didn't see them run at different speeds under the light. I understand the failure involved, but still want to assume that if the pulley halves slipped then the timing mark wouldn't line up with 0 on the scale when the #1 piston and cam lobes indicate visually they are also at TDC.
If people still think it could be the pulley, I'm game to replace it. I'm replacing the fpr now, and will double check the timing after resetting base idle and checking O2 sensor operation. I'm going to measure the resistance as noted in the 700/900 FAQ, thanks for the hint.
As far as timing adjustment, it does seem to be affected by distributor position relative to the head, as outlined in the Haynes.
Thanks
Dylan
