I did not see any change in fuel consumption when I did this. If anything, the weight reduction probably increased it.

However, I must agree with Wackyracer on this one, fix your timing issues before potentially messing anything else up...

85se 12a?

That doesn't make any sense.

The GSL-SE had a 13b fuel-injected engine
All other models (S, GS, GSL) had a carbureted 12a engine.

So which do you have?
