Re: 96 vortec 5.7 timing questions

Abaove posted is correct.
Must be set with a scanner, reading the cam retard I think. Rev engine above 1000 and let it set back to idle, look at reading. Move dist and repeat until it is wothin +2 and -2 degrees.
It took me some research to figure this out on my 98 a couple years ago, my dist gear was worn and comp could not compensate enough to make up for it.
