Thanks for having me people. Melman my name.
I have a question on my 95 4.9. I replaced the Trigger sensor in the Dist. And I'm with out the equipment to set the ign. timing (Been working on European cars) and I was wondering if any one has ever used the Knock sensor Data for ign. timing. What do ya think?

Thanks, Melmman

The 4.9 has no knock sensor.... Pick up a timing light...... http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/product.do?BV_UseBVCookie=Yes&vertical=TOOL&pid=00902137000

Or have it checked and adjusted at a decent shop.... Its all easy stuff, a good shop should be able to do it really easy....
