I'm considering the Turbo City Adjustable Timing Sensor for my '97 TJ

I'm interested in the installation details of this item. Is is just a
bolt on replacement or is some sort of detailed adjustment necessary?
From the photograph that I have seen, it looks to me this there is
some degree of freedom in the installation with the elongated and
slotted holes. How were you determine the amount of change in the
timing from stock? Could a timing light be used to determine the
change?

TIA
Dan

 

Hi Dan,
Seems like a waste to me:
http://www.jeep4.0performance.4mg.com/electronic.html if you could slide
the Crank Case Sensor mounted position forward a quarter of an inch,
that would only be a half a degree advanced. Of course, you may use a
timing light any time, just pull the plug to throw it into the limp mode
for an accurate initial reading. Jeep's brain box can be scanned and
re-programmed with the DRB-II tool. There's a three up on Ebay:
