any other ideas?

it come with a electronic dissy and i put it in i did the usual thing, put it on tdc and the rotor was at number 1 etc. i can rev the engine a little bit but it coughs under load when i rev it, i have put a timing light on it and the timing is around about right but i can't get the car to run long enough to get it spot on. could it be anything else? just trying to eliminate the possible problems.
Edit: not sure about the dissy, he never had it running on the turbo motor he reakons, he had a normal points dissy

I would def check the timing. Has the dizzy been out of the engine? If so, has it been set correctly. one tooth out is enough to throw out your tuning.

If it is an ex turbo motor, maybe the dizzy has been fixed or recurved and now is outa wack for a NA engine.

Sounds like timing to me, but I'm not too good with tuning motors.

help needed! i have put a new engine in my car, its a 1400 that i bought off a guy that apparently had it in his ute with a turbo, i'm trying to get it running and tuned properly, the timing seems to be right but it does'nt idel and when i push the the accelerater it coughs what looks like a little flame out of the carby? im stumped! can someone pleas help me?
