My friend just got his motor in and im totally confused on the whole tuning thing do we tune it with a chip or just set the timing and fuel pressure??I know how it works on the modular cars.He's running stock computer if that makes any difference

Set the timing to 13° BTDC with the SPOUT connector pulled out then put it back in - it's a small grey connector in the wiring beside the distributor.

If the fuel pressure regulator is adjustable, set it to 38 psi with the vacuum line pulled off as a starting point. Reinstall the vacuum line when finished.
