Do you have spark and fuel??

Check you connections with the spark plugs if it has any.

Check all earth wires near your engine, i installed headers once and found out the auto choke wire kept taping the engine block on start up causeing the engine not to fully kick over.

the cam belt timing may be out

ok my car started this morning and ran fine, but when i take off, there is no power or tourque at all, and it takes at least 10secs just to reach 60km/h. i was thinking that mayby my cam belt timing is out/???

and yes i have full, also would spark plugs affect torque?

These plugs are they the same ones you used before??

If so I dont think it would be plugs..

your dizzy is probably out of alignment. did you set the engine to TDC and line the dizzy up when re-installing?

[thestash_16]

ah, i fixed it, yea, i made sure the engine was tdc and aligned the cam gear etc, but it was the dizzy(out 7.5deg), so i grabbed the timing light and my dad helped fix it!!! RUNS SWEETER THAN EVER!!!!!!
