Nars GSL-SE the 'White Comet'

So here it is, my latest rotary project. For those of you who don't know about my other ones... check out my intro thread...

It's an 85 GSL-SE with 195,000 miles.

The car has has some issues... I've got my work cut out with this one. For example, this is the kind of shoddy wiring I've got to contend with...

My buddy just recently rebuilt the engine and we just got it running yesterday. Not exactly running perfect yet though... for example, the timing isn't quite right. The main pulley is set right, but as far as the distributor goes if we set it right on the dot, it only runs on the orange 'trailing' mark when its turned fully retarded. Or, if we set the distributor off one tooth it runs on the yellow 'leading' mark when its fully advanced. Nothing in between.

It idles better on the orange mark so for now that's where it set.
