OOOOOOOOKKKKK!!!!! YES! This is allll goood. Idle'd it to about warm, went for a drive around the block, and then changed the timing (from about 15 or so to 19). Went for a little longer drive, and it's very nice. Much more rev-happy, nimble, and lighter clutch than my dad's heavy suby, and also I noticed how freaking high the shift knob is.
The PCV hose was undone (derr..derr...) and plugging it back up made things run a little smoother, too.
I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE A MASSIVE THANKS TO THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE
eric96ser - you've been there like every step of the way, and have given me terrifically explicit and sound advice.
Josh Foster (Fosters) - I've spent several long phone conversations with you explaining the problems I faced and discussing a plan of action. It was also really generous of you to offer your physical support, but thankfully I don't need it. I do, however, look forward to seeing you, whether it's at a junkyard or a meetup or whatever.
XxToKeSxX - You've provided great help through discussion both on the forum and on AIM. Learning about your own cam and engine swaps was very helpful. You were there a lot of the late nights I was trying to work on the car. You also pointed out the 6P thing really applies to cars. Thanks a lot.
evilsr20degg - Wow, I originally typed you in, sorry. You really provided some great insight. Had the current setup not worked out, your plan would've been the next step. It was great talking to you on AIM and reading up on your posts. Thanks a lot man.
Joe/Black98SeR - I appreciate your offer for coming to help wrench. I hope to see you soon.
BBYE V8 - I know your schedule was packed for the weekend, but you still made the offer to help. Thanks a lot. I would like to see you soon.
chriscar - Thanks for the direction you gave and knowledge imparted.
Serban - I would also like to thank you for pointing things out.
johnbrooks302 - Thanks for discussing the problem on AIM, and other stuff too.
Fast91SER (aim) - I would also like to thank you for talking through my situation on AIM.
slamed150 - Thank you for discussing the problem both on AIM and in the thread.
FastNX - You brought a different perspective and some good knowledge to the thread that otherwise would've been overlooked. Thanks.
Nismo1182, Gui57do (aim) although it was short, you gave me some good advice on AIM, thanks.
Chim mike - thanks for discussing on AIM and in the thread.
Oh, and Andreas Miko, thanks again. I would also like to thank the motorcycle mechanic that I work with, because he lent me some tools that I wasn't planning on needing. For future reference, you will need 10 and 12mm sockets that don't break, and if you can get them in a deep size, then that's good. Also, you need a shallow (not deep) 24mm socket. Ratcheting, bendable wrenches don't hurt either. If there's anyone I forgot, I'm sorry, but everyone has been really helpful (unless they were pointing out how ridiculously dumb I was, which kept me grounded I guess, so that helped too). Thank you sr20forum!
I also look forward to seeing b13magoo soon, too.

... On that note, I'm not going to bring your karma down by saying congrats yet, just glad to see that you attained some knowledge and now have a better perspective on jumping into things... this will def pass on when you decide to do some other stuff.
