OK i messed up working on my motor.  i have a 90 bronco with a 351w, it has efi. i took the distributor out to replace the module on the back.  i replaced it and forgot to mark the distributor and now the motor doesn't even start. So i really need something to walk me through how to set the timing. i have a timing light. if i cain't figure it out ill have to take it to someone (really don't like other people touching my truck). thanks for the help.

yo,

Timing Adjustment in Ford EFI Engines; MIESK5 NOTE; Spark timing that is ******** from specification may increase exhaust gas temperature and shorten catalyst life. Refer to the following procedure for service details. a. Check spark timing. Check base timing with spout disconnected.

Set base timing to the specification on the vehicle emission decal.

b. Check computed timing with spout connected.

NOTE: COMPUTED TIMING IS EQUAL TO BASE TIMING PLUS 20° BTDC ± 3°.

Use the ignition key only to start the vehicle. Attaching a remote starter might disable or initiate the start mode timing after the vehicle is started..." READ MORE
