Hi everyone, New-b here out of Philly. I'm looking forward to talking to everyone.

Anyway, I've been having some trouble setting my ignition timing. Now i have searched through the forums and really didn't find anything pertaining to my problem. So maybe someone can shed some light on the situation.

Vehicle info: 89 Notch LX 4cyl converted to 5.0L. (stock 87 5.0, c4 trans)

Problem: I wanted to check/adjust the ignition timing but the car will not run with the spout removed. I'm not exactly sure where to go with this. To be honest i never had this happen before.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks...

You might need a helper to hold the idle up high enough for you to set it with the SPOUT out.
