    Re: How to set timing on a 2.8

    Pretty much what he said, set base timing to 10* below top dead center with EST unplugged, then plug back in the EST and you're done. As for DR, I would also guess that it stands for degrees, but regardless of what the DR stands for, that is the timing spec/procedure.

    (That source is old but they all say 10 degrees) one guy left a photo
