Setting Timing on 460

Hey all, I need to know where this "Inline spout connector" as ford calls it is located, it says to disconnect it, set the timing to 10 Degrees BTDC, then reconnect it and restart the truck. Oh it is a '90 460 by the way.

There's a two prong plug coming off the distributor, it has a black cap plugged into it; unplug the cap, its a jumper is all it is. That should do.

I found the so called inline spout connector, it is on the wiring to the ignition control module on the drivers side fender, black plug with a grey cap, I found it in the archives section here. Actually the one I found was actually a pic of a 93 but it worked. Thankls for the reply though.

Heres an interesting thin to add to that, before I set the timing the truck would start and go right to the slow idle speed just like a carbed truck, now that I have adjusted the timing a bit it revs to about 1400RPM then slows to 850 and back down to 750 kinda like the 2.8 in my chev car does, runs smoother too.
