Ok so I looked through the fsm and my crappy little haynes manuel. I just cant seem to get a clear procedure on setting my timing. As you know the cali version has two vacuum advance chambers attached to the distributer. Do I disconnect one of them? Do I disconnect none of them. What should I set the timing itself at? Please help!! Been wrestling with this for some time now.
Side question. How do I display a pic with my profile.
Thank you,
Jeremy

I have never been able to get a good answer to this, so I just set the timing with the lines plugged. Can't help with the pic, sorry....

Ohterwise it will idle like crap and you won't be able to set the timing right. Idle speed is important. I use two 16d nails...
