FiTech EFI system

Johnny Pace hooked me up with the pro billet MSD clone distributor. Very nice piece. Followed the Fitech instructions based on base timing of 10* BTDC although my motor likes 18* base. Starts up ok but feels like it's too far advanced and kicks back on the starter. I have the rotor, reluctor and No 1 on the cap lined up pretty well. Tried phasing the rotor +/- 5-10* but can't quiet get it right.

Anybody have any tips or any experience doing timing with the Fitech?

The one thing you have to do is sync the dist to the ECU. Set your base timing value in the handheld, then bring rpm up to 2000 rpm and adjust dist so timing light and Spark Advance on handheld Dashboard screen match, tighten dist.

It doesn't matter what the value on dashboard screen is for Spark Advance is, just move the dist so the balancer mark matches
