I forgot to mark the dizzy when I pulled it out but I was planning on throwing my 95's MSD coil and cap and rotor on it, bump the timing a bit, blah blah so I wasn't super worried about it.Anyways, my timing is way off. It looks like it's quite a bit ATC, but it's way off the marks so it's hard to tell. I thought I might have thrown it in there 180* off but I tried swapping it around and got the backfiring that you get with it being 180* out and put it back. Is it possible it get it 90* out or something like that? If I can't figure it out with the light, I'll pull the plug and find TDC and drop it try setting that way but tired of working on it and calling it a night. I'm a bit stumped but I may just be overlooking something stupid. Timing light is on plug 1, I even tried rotating all the wires to make sure I didn't have them off 1 in either direction.The spout connector is pulled. Help me so I can stop driving a POS Samurai and drive my Mustang again. :tongue3:</blockquote>
