Is the Chilton manual off by 2deg. I have set it at 6deg at 700rmp as the book dictates but if you guys say I need 8 than I'll give it a couple more.

The 86 GL wagon I have had been a salvaged total. When I try and get tune up parts they don't fit. (cap and rotor) The vin says its a 1800cc w/o air susp -1988,1989:1800cc 4WD 1990-1994. Checked and rechecked vin and table. When I ordered parts the cap and rotor would not fit. How do I tell if the engine has been changed out, where is the engine code on the motor. Thanks

I have recently received a 1986 GL Wagon that used to run great after normal tune up stuff. I haven't done it for about 2 years, it was my mothers car. The car currently runs and starts great up to about 3500 rpm the it acts weird. Checked the timing and it is at 6deg BTDC, just as the book says. When I rev the engine the timing goes completely off the chart, unreadable. When it gets high enough, somewhere in the 4k range the secondary starts to kick in. Seems to run normally unless driving, under load. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
