have just purchased the above car in NZ, and am having a few problems. can someone help. Initial off the mark suffers a bad falter( the timing retards about 10 degrees and then advances) and then the motor pinks under hard acceleration and then flattens off. The car has been converted to RHD(by some USA garage), and we are currently in the tidy up mode as the job quite done the way we would have expected. Any comments would be appreciated.

 

Sorry, I know this is an old post...
Not sure, but could post a pic of the motor?
