Finally getting my new crate 5.7 gxi-f cranked. Question is we tried to time it and it kept dying or going kind of crazy. It is actually sitting very close to the 10 degrees btdc. Looked in my seloc manual and it says that the timing is controlled by the ecu and to change it you’ve got to hook up to a programmer or computer. So do I have to take it to a shop and get this timed. Or is it ok to leave it. What do you think. Local shop says 109$ for timing, or that I can download some kind of program and hook up to time it.
I also found another link the says just make sure you are at tdc and make sure the distributor is between two marks and that is it.
