NGK Spark Plugs

Do I need to bump up my timing on a 85 F150 302 EFI and how do you do it with the ecm?

Unplug Spout connector set timing, than plug back in..

Remove the SPOUT connector jumper plug and secure it.
Start the engine and bring it to operating temperature.
Using the timing light, set initial to the setting you would like to test, rotating the distributor CW will advance timing, and CCW will retard timing. 10° BTDC is the stock setting, but you may want to check if 12° BTDC or 14° BTDC will work for more power. Naughty
Tighten distributor base bolt and confirm setting did not change.
Reconnect the SPOUT jumper plug into the connector.
Check timing change with the timing light, the reading should be between 20° - 24° BTDC = sign the computer is controlling spark advance.
You're done....

Is that connector on the dist and what should I reset the timing to?

Correct..

Ok now that I know how to do a timing bump. I just need to know if I have to advance my timing to use NGK plugs?

No you don't. Its just like any other plugs. Actually I get performance increase with MGM's at base timing

Thanks Chris. I have enough power. Maybe a bump up after I put headers on.
