So in my timing belt ordeal I was playing the throwing parts at a problem game and switched out my ignition coil and never marked the position in dizzy was at. Got the timing belt done (eventually lol) Car sounds alright sometimes a misfiring idle. I got just about 240miles on my last tank. Before this I was getting like 320-360 on a tank doing deliveries. Im at a quarter tank and I have only put 50 miles of just driving to school and work not even speeding. I replaced my spark plugs after the timing belt plugs are essentially new put them about 2 months back. What exactly is the stock degree on a dizzy and how do I get to that. (1994 celica gt 5sfe)

NOOOOOO lol I know thats a big no no and a ton of work. I feel like its def the angle on the distributor because that is the only thing that was screwed around with. Like it doesnt run like absolute garbage it runs fine like Ive been able to push it too 100 no problems on the highway it just seems well a lot more sluggish than I remember. Ill have my friend come over with his timing light soon. Let me just stress it runs and drives perfectly (to a non aware sense) But only getting 50 miles out of a quarter tank is atrocious for this car. Im almost certain Im running VERY rich.
