Timing Questions...

Do these TBis get their adjustments like old school SBC where you gotta turn it for the degrees. or does the computer adjust the timing?? mine isnt vaccuum advance or anyhting, just an ign module and the rotor lol. just wondering if i can set the timing like i do with old school SB/BBcs or not

Sorry, the page with the search results does not work in the link.

Can type, "location EST connector" in the search feature, in case you are not familiar with it.

Re: Timing Questions...

Distributor position sets the base timing, advance is controlled by the ECM.
