In my ongoing saga of trying to get my 3FE smogged I'm nearly about to pass, but my timing is off, literally. According to the smog tech I can be off by 3-degrees +/- from factory spec. As you likely know factory is 7-degree and the tech says I'm at 13 so I need to drop it down to no more than 10.
I've got the FSM and to be frank I've never adjusting timing before so I'm a little unsure of the process. As an example, how necessary is it to set the short between the TE1 and E1 terminals with the tachometer in the IG terminal etc etc? Or can I just use a timing light and adjusting the distributor?
TIA!
