strotter Posted June 9, 2002 Share Posted June 9, 2002 I'm about at the point where I'm going to fire my injected 327, but I need to know the best way to get the timing in the ball park before I go. It has the entire electronic ignition system off a '89 Firebird TBI. With points it's easy, but I havn't come across any references (including the factory manual) for initial setup on electronic ignition. Am I just going to have to have my girl crank the motor while I'm under the hood with the timing light going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted June 9, 2002 Share Posted June 9, 2002 Do the same thing. Get the motor on the TDC mark on the compression stroke and point the rotor at the #1 spark plug tower by rotating distributor and crank, slightly advancing until you get it to run.

Guest Anonymous Posted June 9, 2002 Share Posted June 9, 2002 Yeah, Mike's right, line it up statically and unless your 180 out, it'll light or be close, a simple twist one way or the other while cranking... vrrroommmm... Good luck on the soon to be happy event. Regards, Lone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
