Arrghhhh what's happened (update....)

Just spoke to Jim at The Engine Shop explained what we thought the problem was and he said yeah will be lazy on 1 and 3 as running the high lift cam i.e removing leads on 1 amd 3 won't make a difference but when high revs will kick in .... but I said the timing is retarded and point gap is tiny ... he said to go back to basics and fit the og pulley (said it should have tdc mark if og vw pulley wheel not sure it does?) then check the advance he confirmed it should be 7.5 btdc and that I can change the timing if this is not the reading we get and we know what we are doing! ! He also said to check the point gap this should be 14 thousandsth....we can adjust if the gap is not that and won't invalidate warranty!

Should I think the plan is back to basics do a manual check to ensure tdc at 1 and work from there then check with timing gun etc and advance as required to 7.5 ..... going to recheck every gap from stone cold tonight update to follow......
