timing...
1994 F-150 302 Auto trans
I'm not sure how to check and adjust the timing on my truck.
I've got a timing light, and my haynes manual doesn't tell me how to specifically adjust it.
How do you guys do it on your trucks?
And what is good to have it at?

10* is the base timing. When you go to time it you hook the timing light to the #1 plug wire. You have to unplug the little jumper harness so the advance isnt on. Should be over by the drivers fender. Then just loosen up the dist bolt so you can twist and and have it at.

After reading this: http://fordfuelinjection.com/?p=71 , I noticed that I don't seem to have any marks on my harmonic balancer. or am I not able to see it like their picture has it?

Ok, I can not find the SPOUT connector. I looked over by the box under the cruise control like the FFI website said, and its not there.

That is from their website. This is what mine looks like: (It was kind of hard to get my camera in there to get a decent pic.. lol)

My SPOUT connector looks much different than the first pic you posted. It's a wire harness with two wires in on the one side, and just a grey tab on the other side of the connector. I didn't see it in any of the other pics you posted, but it's either near the distributor, or near the driver's side hood hinge. Keep looking.

That's it, in the third picture down. It's the little grayish white plastic piece.
Two red wires go to it.

Yea no big deal, just happen to notice it kinda hiding there.
The pictures where hard to get a bearing on where anything was as a reference, little to close up for a change!
But hey thanks for the Cyber-cookie, never got one of them before!
