85 Se Wont Go Fast
85 GSL-SE ... starts, runs, wont idle, will drive but VERY VERY SLOW!!! after a slow rip up the street after changing fuel filter... because it seems like a fuel issue i popped the hood and the manifold and racing beat cat delete pipe were RED. These pipes were GLOWING RED!!! i just changed the fuel filter thinking it was a fuel issue.... lots of fuel pressure and the pump is fine.... tons of spark. timing could be a little off but i stabbed the distributor according to factory service manual specifications on the yellow mark!! unfortunately i dont have a timing light or know anyone with one.... just curious about the injectors and if the manifolds being so hott signals a fuel problem....
P.S. Tons of compression ..... fresh motor
any advice will help...
Thanks
Marshall

Your timing is too far retarded. Either that, or you don't have any leading spark...
If you don't have cats, then I doubt your exhaust is clogged...

tons of spark both leading and trailing.... new plugs and wires.... also how do i adjust for retardation.... looking at the motor from driver side turn towards rear or front ? currently at the middle point..... stabbed it and left it.... restabbed it left it same thing. tomorrow may buy a timing light and see what its at.... and am going to get injectors flow tested and cleaned.....

I would go back and recheck all of your work. I did the S4 intake swap on one of my Se's along time ago and had trouble like you are having. Unfortunately I don't rememeber what the problem was? :-)
Recheck the connections between the AFM intake hose where they join together. Make sure that the Bypass tube that goes from the tube to the plenum is not leaking.
Verify that the electrical connector at the AFM is secure.
Verify that you don't have a large intake leak at the intake to engine gasket.
Did you use the S4 or Se intake gasket?
If you could, take pictures of the engine from various angles and post them up so I can look.
