having ust fitted a rebuilt engine to my escort (cvh turbo on mfi) I want to set the dizzy so that its safe enough to get me started and then its going for a setup. im not going to go out giving it boot full's or anything I just want to where to set the dizzy. is there a mark on the cyl head that the dizzy lines up with or anything? im struggling, the last thing I want is a melted engine. also what do you recommend in terms of ignition timing? the last tuner did it at the standard 12 degree's last time even though it was running a bar of boost. I saw somewhere that 8 deg btdc is safer on modified engines.. thanks in advance, if you will pardon the pun
