Do I need to mess with my distributor or timing? Hey everyone. I got my intake manifold coreectly installed (at least as far as I can tell). Starts fine....but the idle is weird. It's either too high by about 200RPM, or its too low and choppy, to the point of dying out. It'll balance itself out after a while, but stays too high up. I was told I need to retime it by one person, and told to fix the distributor cap by another. True?

You have no distributor in your car ...
what you do have however, is 99.9% a vaccum leak. Check the connections in the back of the manifold to see if any of them are loose and/or disconnected .... if not, you're probably gonna end up taking your manifold off, and doing it again because it isn't seated properly.
