hi everyone
last weekend i discovered that i had a blown head gasket on my H20 (gary boone eDizzy, 44PHHs, cam, head work, etc).  after a week of chasing parts (thanks dean apostle and thanks stan chernoff!) and services (thanks mark degroff!, who's not on the list, but i still wanted to thank), the head is back on and it's all put together.  i adjusted the valves once, when cold, before start-up.  the thing is, it's running like crap.  it's very rough at anything above idle.  i thought i had a timing light, but i guess not.  but no matter where i position the distributor, it does not improve.
anyone close to highland park (northeast los angeles) that would be willing to trade some lunch tomorrow for some of their expertise?  i would really appreciate it.  i was supposed to be at the track this weekend, but the headgasket put me way behind.  any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance
