"Hi, I'm Doug. I work with 20 great guys in St. Louis and Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods and we are going to do some work with you today at Expert Village. Now we need to check the timing. Mark is holding a bi pass there you put that in the computer line and it bi passes the computer ability to alter the timing based in the computer input. So we plug that in that comes with the kit and it would allow you to set base timing. So the computer can make good timing decisions after that.

It is still burning the paint off, burning the heat off. So he is grabbing the number one plug wire with the inductive fitting.

There we go. "
