what is this timing question

[noslow86]

what the hell is a spout connection read on another thread. something to do with setting timing is it like mufflers bearing or im i just stupid

SPOUT stands for spark output

it's the little plug off the end of the distributor harness

it needs to be removed b4 timing changes or the computer won't recognize it correctly. plus , the timing will bounce around and you can never read it right w/ it still in

It's a fuel injected thing..

yeah, it removes computer spark advance from the equation, so you can set base timing without the computer messing with you.

good luck.

Anyone have a photo of where it is, my mind is being retarded at work and I'm not visualizing it.

It is right next to the distributor. two wires running to a small box.

yep, if one traces the TFI wiring harness toward the motor, there are two wires which peel off on their own. there is a little grey or black 'chip' connector in the end of the two wires - SPOUT.
