Well it's running again had a friend set the distributor by ear and I say he must have got it right on cause it runs good I tried having my mechanic put a timing light to it but could not find specs and everything we found online said there is no adjustment

There isn't. Moving the distributor doesn't affect ignition timing at all. It affects injector timing.

Need to make sure fuel sync is within spec. Need a fairly high-zoot scanner for that. The tolerance is pretty small, and can have a significant affect on performance.
