Timing and EFI

I know how to check timing on a carb'ed engine and how to adjust it. Now with an electronic ignition, is there anything to check or adjust? ('87 302).

Timing is adjustable.
Get a Chilton's or a Haynes manual.
You will need a timing light.
You will also need to locate the jumper on the spout connection located near the distributor. This jumper prevents the ECM from automatically adjusting the timing while you are adjusting the base timing.
