Hey guys and gals

Does the OBD I and II work like advertized?

Do I need to be a mechanic to understand and repair what I am reading?

What/how many other books/tools do I need?

Thanks
Roland

surveyor, the marks are sometimes hard to see. I have a white line painted over the 10 degree mark. There is also no vacuum advance - the computer controls all advance. The spout connector jumps those wires, otherwise the truck would be lazy from no advance and the computer would store a code. If you can find the marks, rev the engine with the SPOUT connected, and you'll see the timing jump advanced.
Hey thanks, yeah, whenever I find my timing marks, I get the paint out too. Also, I don't notice a difference when I pull my SPOUT connector. I never actually drove it this way, maybe it's so little I wouldn't notice at idle like on an ol' vacuum advance distributor I'm used to.

Thanks again, I'll keep lookin'.
