So, I just put the engine back in my subaru and got it running. now, I thought that I had not messed with the timing at all. However, I am not getting the response when I put the pedal down that I expect - the rpms are not going as high as I expect. I also am hearing a tick that is constant and increases with rpms. So, Ideas would be helpful. I am thinking timing, but I don't know how to adjust timing on this thing yet. if someone could point me towards a website about it or give me some sort of idea about it, that would be great. Thanks all

did you get into the timing belts at all? ea81 or ea82 subaru? anyway adjust your ign timing with the o deg mark. unplug the vac line and plug it off when setting initial timing. if its fuel injection plug in the green clips on the firewall on the driver side to adjust the initial timing. rotating the disty to the left advances and to the right retards it.
