So i was working on swaping the cam on my car although it ended up takeing to long and the next day i had traffic court and figured i would lose my license so i put my car back together. I reinstalled the distributor by putting my finger over the spark plug hole on the #1 cylinder and waited til it stopped compressing and then marked tdc on the dizzy. well with my 3.73s the car is about the same as it was with the 3.08s. I toke my car to my vocational school and my instructor checked my job of timing it with his snap on gun and he got 12 degrees just like how i did. The car runs terrible and missed at low and is just dog slow. what could be wrong, only a cel but i usta always get it so im not concerned.

Are you sure you're at TDC on the compression stroke, not the exhaust stroke?

You need to figure out your CEL Codes....The car ran fine before the cam swap?
