I need some assistance with the proper way to set the timing on a Marine Power 5.7 Vortec. It came with an electrical plug with wire attached that it says to plug into the distributor and to the hot side of the battery. But when I do that it shuts the engine off. It's been backfiring thru the carb.and losing power so I think she may have jumped time. I'd appreciate any info! |

you need to bring balancer to tdc on the timing pointer. find #1 cyl. on dist cap make sure rotor is pointing at #1. If it is not then it has jumed time |

That's a Lack of Fuel Issue...........

Might be, but the timing needs to be correctly set in any case, and it's a good thing to eliminate. The easiest way to do it is to mark the timing pulley at full advance (about 28 degrees) and time it at 3,500 rpms. If that doesn't do it, start looking at fuel problems.
