V8's with a inductive timing light? >>

No, The timing is done by the computer off a crank position sensor. The
distributor has to do with injector timing. Weird but the computer controls
the timing and a timing light does nothing. There is a way in the computer to
set the injector timing but it is done from TDC on #1 with the engine off,
manual explains it.
