any reasons why not. or just cause its dodge. id rather have it retarded a lil more and be safe rather than have it start pinging majorly. also is it safe to run a b16 on ulp or is pulp the way to go

Cause you'll turn it and never know where it's at :)

If ya got the light U play around with it,knowing exactly where' best.

Connect it up,move it and check,then you'll know!

The rest of the info is in the thread,cause you'll forget which way is advance and retard:

you will hear the difference.

idle speed will increase when you're advance.

decrease when retarded.
