    Arrow Ignition timing

    I was wondering how you set the ignition timing to 12 degrees?
    I have a D16Y8 that's stock
    The ECU is a P28 chiped for the Y8

    Scott told me to run the car to running temp and to connect a pin to the service connector. Then us a timing light to check and change it? What would I move the dizzy or what?

    Any help would be good thanks in advance.

    Yes you can move the dizzy but by so far...an you look at the lower timing cover there is a timing tab an then you use the red line on the crank pulley with timing light set the light to zero an then dial it in ...

    Ah, so basically what you are saying is line up the red mark with the timing tab with the timing gun...
