Almost no 'work' involved using my method. Enjoy.
This worked like a champ. Funny thing is, the pulley wasn't installed wrong afterall. The DLIDFIS was wired wrong. The pickup coils were wired up to the GM modules backwards, which had the polarity wrong. This put the timing ~90* off.
It's amazing how much better it runs with those wires swapped, and the dizzy dropped in at factory spec.......
