If you DON'T remove the spOUT connector, you'll be setting the timing when the computer is already advancing it quite a bit. The net effect is, your motor will run like shat!!! At idle, the timing is advanced about...I wanna say 16* from baseline, and baseline timing is the most important thing to have correct. Baseline is simply the timing position without ANY computer advance. Since the TFI-IV module and EEC-IV control all aspects of timing, there isn't anything else you have to mess with, i.e. vacuum advance, weights, and mechanical CRAP. Aren't computers wonderful?
