User Name 19 Report post Posted July 12, 2007 Hay most of the time i think but i pulled out all the distributor and never marked where it was sposed to sit so i need to know how to time it manual so i can get the distriputor in the right place. and i dont have the fancy tool or the monie to get a pro to plug it into a bmw service tool to confirm the timming Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
