Thank you for your input as well First off I love Fuel Injection systems they have done amazing things for the auto world, but every awesome adventure starts somewhere. As for finding a New distro that will be unnecessary since when I detach some of the sensors the ECU will go into a loop mode where the RPM's will control the distro. I actually found a buddy that has done the same swap and has been running it for 4 years 15,000 miles and it has ran fine.

FirstGenFreak Thank you for your input as well As for the fuel pump Im going to run a Weber regulator that will only allow 2.5-3 PSI through and the rest will dump back to the tank. My buddy has ran the same set up in a Hardbody for about 4 years 15,000 miles and says his only issue was that he forgot to tighten the clamps before he tried to start it LOL.

I appreciate your input and explanation as always RCWD21. I live in Idaho so hills ect are very common, mountains everywhere lol. However this truck is only being used to get to my area that I hike to hunt deer/ and elk, so i should have to much issue. Also I used to take my old carb'ed datsun up there it aint to bad. I know during the winter it will be a pain to get started but I have a Inergy Apex that I can plug a block heater into while I am hunting . The main idea on the Carb is that I understand them extremely well, and can rebuild one in no time if needed. I do also want to add the truck has one more shot at keeping it's TBI. This weekend I am removing the EGR and taking a look at that, running a timing light on it if I can get it to idle again LOL. And making sure the timing is correct so we will see.

So the plan for this weekend is to re TDC the 1st Cly and make sure the rotor is pointed in the right direction. After doing more reading in the FSM looks like the rotor was pointing to far to the right (guessing it may have been put in one tooth off....) After getting all of that resolved then im going to go pick up a cheap compression tester from Harbor Freight, and check the compression for my next project If compression is good I think I will do a Weber Carb conversion found one for $450 will the regulator and all adapter plates. Once thats on I can remove all vacuum pretty much, and remove some of the stupid sensor so the ECM will run in loop and I should get a power boost plus I know carbs way better then TBI. What are your guys thoughts?

Okay so pretty sure I got it at tbc yesterday. Cam dimples almost lined up perfectly with case dimples. The crank was one notch over from the last notch on the left of the pulling (if looking down on it). The rotor was a little past the 1cyl on the cap?. I loosened the screw and twisted the cap right. Now I get an idle that pops every now and then but throttle response is almost non existent? Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Ha I think I found what was giving me a code 13!. Was looking over where the sensors harness connects to the vehicle harness and noticed a break in the line on the harness side. Replaced a small section of wire so hopefully that's what was tripping that because that break was right by one of the metal wire holders. Also I just want to say thank you again for all your help!! This is the first time I have went this far into timing, and it's been a breeze thanks to your advice. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Also I will do tdc tomorrow had to charge the battery cause it was almost drained. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

And that means removing the bottom cover huh Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

So with 40 between the cams am I good there? Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Crap... I forgot to tdc it. Haven't had my coffee yet Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Just counted and there is 40 between the dimples Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Finally checked cam timing and IMOP it doesnt look bad at all they are both about 2 teeth away from the case Mark's. Or am I looking at it wrong? Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Well got out there today for just a little bit. Checked MAF to see if it was getting power and it wasnt. The last owner replaces the fusible link with a stupid connector that was all beat up. Got that replaced and now she tries to start no backfire since. Ran codes before I came for the night and got 13. Now is that the one up front by the radiator or is that one for the gage? Also I found a thread about all this but the photos were long gone. Any chance you guys can tell me where to find the one that throws 13? Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Ha nevermind finally found it looks like it right off the battery so I will check that while pulling the timing belt cover. I have to do as much in a few hours as possible, since my apartment doesnt allow us to work on vehicles in there parking lot lol. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Okay so I have been reading the fsm and have a question. On Ef & EC 97's diagram it shows fusable links BR BR G and G, from what I am filling it looks like those maybe right next to the battery or behind it by the headlight? The only reason I ask is I have had to replace a few wires that were brittle or worn and will want to check these fusable links. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

That right there is a good looking rig. I love the front bumper! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Hopefully going to get the cover off and checked this weekend. Once again I really do appreciate all the help! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

I was using a fsm my friend had found. I believe it was for 89 but not sure. I would really appreciate the PDF if it isnt to much trouble. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Thank you, as always hanes gives me the hard way lol Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Looks like removing that upper timing belt cover isnt to bad, until I looked at the Hanes repair manual [emoji1787] they make it sound like you got to yank your crank pully and pull both covers to remove the top cover. I guess I'll be borrowing a pulley puller from auto zone Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

I got to say you have been awesome for real!! I did notice that the distro is turned like 80% of the way clockwise currently and I felt like that was a ton. But I'm so new to nissan tbi I cant trust anything I think lol [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787] Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

I didnt even think about the air box lol, I was try to start it with that off. backfires like a sob I'm worried the egr is clogged and the wiring for the maf is fuggered. I'll have to double check timing next weekend if my buddy can make it down. Since I cant keep it running I cant use a timing light so....yeah. Maybe the kid got the good deal not me lol Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Looks like mine is going to be the same lol. Replaced all vacuum. Ran all the vac lines like yours and wont even start cold. Adjusted fuel/air and stumbles a bit then dies. I think I will have to custom wire the maf sensor. Just bought a new one and got that code again from the ecu
