Timing & Spout questions
I need to time my bronco. The under the hood sticker calls for the timing to be 10 degrees btdc, but it tells me to pull the spout plug, and even though I pulled the motor, I don't have a clue where it is. Can someone explain the timing procedure and where I need to look for the spout connector.

Re: spout connector
what year is your bronco? the spout is near the distributor up through '91 and by the cruise control after that. the connector is just a jumper for two wires that you unplug and that stops the computer from changing the timing. unplug it and set the timing to 10 degrees.
My car is a hybrid; it burns gas and rubber.

Re: spout connector
Its a '92. Where abouts is that located? Do you have a picture?

Re: spout connector
It is within a few inches of the fender well mounted TFI module. Please ignore my zip tie skills. My finger is on it in the picture.

Yep, that's what it looks like before you hack up your truck.

Re: spout connector
Thank you both very much. The timing has been off and its been a pain in the a** trying to figure it out. Do you guys have any insight on timing? This is my first time as well.

Re: spout connector
UPDATE Just wanted to thank you guys for the info. Timing it was a breeze even with the stalling issues I'm messing with. Only took me 5 min to time.

what distributor timing r u running?
did a search on GFB and didn't find a whole lot on what people are running as far as timing for thier 351w efi broncos. also went searching through the factory truck shop manual and it told me to go look in the engine/emissions manual, which i don't have.
anyways, i marked my rotor and distributor housing before i removed the distributor (removing intake manifolds for deep clean) so i'm not up a creek without a paddle if i don't know what others are running when i re-install the distributor... i'm more curious than anything.
So, what are y'all running for timing on ur 5.8l efi broncos?

Re: what distributor timing r u running?
10 DEGREES BTDC Thats stock I believe. Just make sure your rotor is turned toward the #1 cylinder.

where do you set your timing
The book calls for 10 degrees before to TDC . What's yours set at ? Should I advance it a bit or leave it. I have been told 5 or 6 T D C is ideal.
I have been me for 32 years and know i cant spell for Sh!$ so get over it . Thanks Josh
