make sure you unplug this when your doing the timing

you pull the spout connector out, on a fox its by the distributer on a sn95 its by the maf, no if you have an ajustable timing light you either wanna put the dial at 0* and set the timing at 10-14* or set the dial at what you want the timing to be and set it to 0*

the best thing you could do at this point is pull the dist, bring the engine to top dead center and start over. basicly start fresh and then go from their
