You don't set the timing, It's controlled by the pcm. You do need to set the fuel sync witch is what HayYou's instructions describe.

Thanks again for the time and guidance got my cylinder heads on everything back together still working on pitally stuff.
But it on the road again.

Ah yes, the gold old "piddly stuff". That's why my anticipated 2 week overhaul on my truck took 4 months. Well that plus the heat and me being lazy.

No, it's the heat. I've never been able to handle it very well and as I've gotten older, it's gotten worse. I still like the cool and even cold weather. Just not the heat.

I used to love heat. Now I hate it. Too old for that crap.

Too hot? Nope, I don't go out.... Too cold? Nope, then either. It used to be that weather didn't bother me.... (I did roofing in the summer when I was in college....) But, as I have aged, I have become less tolerant of weather extremes. Too hot, and the brain simply doesn't work, too cold, and EVERYTHING hurts. Give me mild weather, 60's and 70's, with a slight breeze, and I am happy. MS plays hell with my desired lifestyle.
