The timing adjustment of the FI 72 is unique and somewhat
complicated. It is explained in detail in the manual below which you
should buy. If might seem somewhat expensive, but it will pay for
itself many times over if you plan to work on your own car at all.
Even if you plan to let others do the work, I would recommend that
you buy your own copy so you can get an idea of whether your work is
being done correctly.
