attempting to set base timing

Post by L120 »

I have removed my dist. to lock down the mechanical advance. After I put the dist back into the engine I am trying to set the base timing. The DYIAutotune web site explains how to do this by setting "fixed timing" in software and adjusting the dist. accordingly to match the fixed value. I am looking through Tuner studio to find where to set the fixed advance so I can use a timing light to adjust and lock down the dist. I am using tuner studio Lite V-1.13. I looked through all the menus and cannot find it. Did I miss it some where?

L120,

The B&G code doesn't have that setting, instead you set the trigger offset using these instructions: http://www.megamanual.com/mt29.htm#og
