if your timing is too far retarded, your manifold will glow. could be a sign of low compression too.


does it glow only when you stomp on it, or under light / medium loads too?

Get rid of your cat!

Sounds like an old cloged cat?


Just so you know:

Hot exhaust is lean, cool exhaust is rich.

And you dont retard by moving the dist by a tooth. Just loosten the 10mm nut and slid the dist ccw.

BUT I dont think that is your problem, I truly think it is the cat!

sounds like it could be a plugged cat to me too. Get yourself a RB full exhaust. I just got one. Looks sweet, sounds sweet. breathes sweet.
