Quick timing question

[Lost Bushman]

When switching from the A4LD to a FM146, what should I adjust my timing to? it's idling high and has a weak top end.

I don't think the transmission you have should affect the timing. Idle, yeah, probably, but I don't think the timing would need to be adjusted. For the 2.9 it says to adjust timing to 10* BTDC, according to my sticker under the hood (90 2.9 with manual tranny).

This is from the tech article...

"There are a few follow-up things you'll want to do. First and foremost, re-time the engine. The timing is different between automatic and manual."


Is this inaccurate?
