Question
Thanks for all of you info. How do I adjust the timing on a car with a coil pack?  I know the old way of turning the cap but now days I am lost. The web site wouldn't let me ask any more follow ups Thanks, Shane

Answer
Here's my excuse.  I know a very good mechanic that recently retired- - -he said, "I always wanted to fix cars,- - -NOT computers!!"   So he closed his shop.

I don't know how to adjust the timing on modern era street cars. you'll have to find somebody in a tune up shop that  is willing to help

Sorry !!

Experience

I have been racing for 20 years, I have been the Central Florida SCCA Regional Championship points for 5 years running, and won the championship in my class 2 times. During my first start in the 60's I won many solo awards and the State Championship Drags. I serve as a senior instructor for SCCA, and have taught in Mercedes AMG events at Daytona, and Dodge Viper Days at Sebring International. I have been in the thick of the competition for all of my career. At one time or another I have driven race cars at speeds nearing 195 MPH. It's quite a ride !
