2g 6 bolt swap base timing

[jdodds]

BEFORE ANYONE SAYS THAT IT CANT BE ADJUSTED, ITS A CAS FROM A 90 MOTOR. IT CAN BE ADJUSTED. Ok i cant get a straight answer on what to ground out to set the timing. I know something needs to be grounded out but Im not sure if the plug thats with the fuel pump test connector is it or not. Theres a blue plug and a black plug. My engine feels like its pulling timing since i had the cas off last week. I found a way to set the timing before but I cant seem to find it again.

Can anyone help me with this?

Do you mean ignition timing?

I don't think that the 2g's have a grounding plug for timing because the factory setup is non adjustable. Get a logger and a timing light. Turn the cas until the actual timing matches what the logger says.

I have noaccess to a logger. any other ideas?

Interesting. I have never heard of this method.

Has anyone else actually tried doing it this way?

Can't you just put the motor at top dead center, pull the CAS, line up the marks and put it (the CAS) back in with the marks lined up?
