Do you happen to know when the trigger event (reference angle)
for the crank setup on the stock dakota (97 318). Trying to
get the haltech set up for sequential, but didn't have this info.

| Actually the distributor "set sync" is not related to ignition timing at
| all - instead it refers to the syncing of the fuel injector firing with the
| intake valve opening event for each cylinder. Hence the term SMPI -
| Sequential Multi Port Injection.
|
| All ignition timing (base + advance) is done in the computer using the
| crankshaft sensor to reference crankshaft degrees. It looks for its mark,
| waits the appropriate time, then fires the coil. The only time the dist
| even comes into the picture is at startup for determining when the crank is
| on the firing stroke.
|
| Hope this helps,
