Can someone tell me what the stock timing is for a 91 5.0 with an automatic? And also where is the plug that needs to be unplugged so the computer wont advance the timing?

Click to expand...

Plug should be near the distributor. Roughly 1 inch wide and should be gray in color. Think there's two wires coming out of it.
As for timing, try 12 and play with it from there. I know my cougar had a little more get up and go with 14, but I had to run premium gas or it pinged.
