wait wait wait i thought you turn it towards the front to advance which would be left if you were looking from the fender and retarding if you turn it towards the firewall which would be right... right?

The dizzy spins counter clock. So by turning it to the right (or clockwise) you will be starting the spark earlier and advancing the timing.

Remember, when setting timing, that engine should be warm, and you need to unplug the TPS!

You need to unplug the TPS to fool the ECU.
The ECU advances and retards timing depending on engine loads, so to set your BASE timing, you need to take the ECU out of the loop...

haha idk if it was the v tec effect or just my cams being off or even just running incredibly rich. My car would be sluggish as hell till around 35- 40 then it would be like a nice little turbo would spool haha
