Would I be right by saying the car should run with the spout connector off if timing is perfect? And to get it perfect.I made my 10 degree mark on number one cylinder compression stroke. The car runs good and perfect as new. But I feel like the ecu or electronics is bringing it to that perfect timing in a way that may not be exactly right. The car doesn’t fire up when spout is disconnected and I think I’ve seen people disconnect the spout before spotlighting their timing marks. I’ve got a timing light but it’s not the easiest to see down there in perfect alignment. With belts and hoses back in place. I marked it while changing the water pump from a bolt leak.Car sit in carport for several years before we got it going again. About 100k miles but inside head of distributor didn’t look good enough to keep. I already had it to a point where It fired up and ran better that known and only looked at the timing light a little. It should fire with spout off am I right?</blockquote>
