Do you have a timing pointer on it? If so, I set the idle area of the spark table to some round value, like 20 or 30 degrees, then check the timing with a light. If they do not (And you have an XFI system) agree just change the "Crank Reference Angle" value found under "Operational Parameters" (upper/right corner of that dialog box) until the timing pointer agrees with the numbers in your spark table. Mine was set to 3 when I was still running an Optispark. If you have the older FAST, it's probably the same deal, but I don't know that everything is named the same. Mine is the XFI system. If you don't have a timing pointer you sure need to rig one up, otherwise you have no way of knowing for sure how much timing your running.

Good luck, Ed
