Base timing with ARC-2

[98awdturbo]

Hey guys. Well I am finally getting to setting my base timing. I no longer have access to a coil or wires so I'm attempting to set it using the inductive pickup on the signal wire to coil #1 (I read on another resolved thread to do this). My question is if anyone has experience doing this with an ARC-2? I could bypass it but id rather set timing using everything the car is going to run with on a daily basis. If someone has done so what settings did you run on the ARC-2?
Appreciate the help!

Just make sure restrike is off and you'll be good to go.

restrike off for sure. Are you using a cop? if so use a digital timing gun (as the old school guns will not work). I just lay the wire pickup on top of coil #1. That should do it.
