well i got the KA back together and it fired up but it wouldnt idle. I found a pretty nice vacume leak on the intake where a piece of the old gasket was still on and not making a seal. that will be fixed today. I was wondering to what degree to set the timing at? because right now i just have it set at pretty much 0 or tdc. or does it not matter as long as it is close because the com puter takes care of it?

I think it is not idleing because of a combination of a few things. the old gas in it(has been sitting for a year) the timing is off, and the vacume leak.

any other ideas or suggestions to look at that could go wrong while it sat all that time?
