picked up AE from sparky today and got it home just, after $&#$% around for about a week now it has spark sadly it just started to spark so they dont know what they did to get the spark back so i guess it could go again.

both sparkies and mechanics have been working on it now, the mechanic has set the timming and which is only just ok on idle, however when reved the timing retards instead of advancing ??? WTF its like the rotor is now spinning the wrong way or something ? and he also said he swapped the lead order onto the distributor cap ? i thought this was weird considering there should not be anything wrong with how it was unless now that its retarding instead of advancing he has swapped the leads to reverse aswell ???

anyone got any ideas ? mite try swapping the computer as thats the only thing i havnt done then try redoing timing and ignition order otherwise im back to square one.
