Timing should be good

rolled out of bed today and under the car. rented a light from walmart to do the timing with and im pretty sure i got it right. car pulls a lot better, starts on the first try and i can ride 2nd gear over 5000rpm which is about 80kph.

when we first got the car 2nd topped out at about 40kph around 3500rpm. but now with timing and valve issues fixed we've got a lot of power back. just need to fix the idle now since it was adjusted when there was bad timing by the old owner and now it runs perfect when the engine is cold but once it heats up the idle drops to about 500 which is about 250 too low and the engine almost stalls.

i ghetto fixed this just recently by turning on the rear defroster which jumps the idle back up to 1000rpm lol. that worked for about 25 min though and its still rough but not as bad. there is an idle screw, i just dont know where it is : (

also had to add a new alternator belt to the list of things to pick up.
