Hi! Finally took my first drive in my new Alpine 2.8 V6 today. Yea!!!! Still a few mechanical issues to sort out though.
First, does anyone know what to set the timing at? My Haynes manual just says to check the emissions sticker (which is probably still on the 1978 Mustang II that the motor came out of). Tried it at 6 degrees BTC but it doesn't seem right.
Secondly, the C4 automatic is reluctant to shift up at times. Ran great for the first trip (15 or 20 miles), but when I headed out for another run it didn't want to shift out of first. I manually shifted to second and then it seemed to work fine for a while, but the same thing happened again a little while later.
Lastly, does anyone know where I can find instructions (preferably with pictures) on putting the top away under it's metal enclosure? I followed the instructions from the sticker that I bought on eBay and found that it was a very, very tight fit getting the side arms down low enough for the little side covers to close over them. Is that normal? Thanks!
