Wanted check my timing. 2000 216 chaparral. With the Volvo penta 5.7 TBI. Not sure what I need to do to put it in timing mode. Do I unplugge something. Or need a special tool. Thanks for any help.

Hahahaha. I found the old thread. Back when I was going to mess with it.and alldodge posted what I needed. Cause I can only get 4200 rpms at WOT. 19 pitch. I have fuel pressure to spec. Out of fuel pumps. And did a tbi rebuild kit with new injector screens. All new cap rotor, cap , coil , plugs , wires. I’m thinking I will check the timing. But after I raid rpms to 1000. And unplug from distributor then use the paper clip jumper. Will it stay at 1000 rpms. And if so do I shack the timing at that rpms. Or lower to ideal. 600 rpms. Then after I check/set timing. What is the procedure to reverse. ? Just shut down motor replug to distributor and. Disconnect negative batt cable for a few min. Then restart motor?? Thx you.
