The previous owner mentioned that the timing was off and that he fixed it before selling me it. The idle isn’t very steady, meaning it has intermittent hesitations when idling. Other than that, what else could it be? Could timing being alittle off cause the car to top out at 40?

Thanks

Just remember Sparta there are more lies told about the size of fish caught, even bigger lies about the ones that got away, more lies told about the yields of crops and lies told about the speed of Model A's. cheers, gary
