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)

get the ignition timing set correctly, then advance it 2 to 5 degrees and run 89 octane fuel. You'll feel a nice little bump in torque.
