There was definitely A LOT of functionality that was left on the table. Having the ECU control timing is the most basic of EFI functions and whoever did the original instal dropped the ball.

I will say this, the 50 degrees advance is an interesting number. In the Holley instructions there is reference to positioning the distributor in that location. However, from there, the ECU does the rest.

I think what happened is that they never verified ACTUAL timing with a light and ASSumed that the ECU has it handled. The Holley software is excellent but it can't work miracles. It is just a computer, so as they say "garbage in, garbage out."

I wish I still lived in the Chicago area. I would come over and we get it all worked out...

Mario, can you tell the exact engine combination?
