Mass air/Timing
Help. Today I installed my mass air conversion kit on my 88 GT. All went well until I got to the timing part. Ford said to advance the timing to 14 degrees before top center. I understand this but have no clue on how to identify the degrees. After playing around with the timing gun and distributer cap I took the car for a test drive. During the test drive the rpms would hesitate to come down when upshifting. How do I set the right timing degree and, why did Ford say 14 in the directions? Is this problem related to the timing?
Thx a lot for any help.

get steel wool, crawl under the front of the car, and scrub the shit off the balancer. rotate the engine 180* with a socket and a breaker bar to get the other side. you should be able to see the marks then. identify 14* BTDC and mark it with a highlighter. remove the spout connector, start the car, and set the timing, then plug the spout back in. should run fine.

Re: Mass air/Timing
The numbers are on the side of the balancer?
