I would not turn on the start retard until you have your initial timing set to start the car.

And as far as the start retard how does this work does it retard the timing 25 degrees 'Q' from initial timing, or does it put the timing at 25 degrees initial when you start the car?

Sorry I have family over today so I cannot hover over the computer.

Allen Here's a novel idea, let's not throw a bunch of parts at the car hoping it will fix the problem and instead spend a little time diagnosing it first. Life was a little easier when I was just a wrench.
