ILMODC

Hey gang: Short story, can someone help doing my timing on my 1987 Trans Am? The motor swap is 96% complete. I'm afraid I still have a few open vacuum lines but the timing is way off. Car falls on its face when you punch the gas.

Car is in Sylmar at a buddies house. Not sure if I can or should drive it too far way. House calls? I read up on the procedure and it sounds simple enough - its just I dont have a timing light either.

Thank!!

I have never actually done it myself but it shouldt be too hard to do. Correct me if Im wrong but isnt the stock timing 6 and the rest is controlled by the computer? Also cant you go to autozone or Napa and rent a timing light?

You can pick up an ultra-cheap timing light at Harbor Freight. I can't remember exactly, but I think the one bought there was less than $15.
