I tell this to everyone I know, I work cheap but I don't work for free. Tools are expensive. Which reminds me that I need a new vacuum gauge
, mine from the 80's reads a little inaccurately.

I know there are vids on youtube for timing bumps, but maybe one specifically for the 4.9l? Its the same procedure for all the engines but for some reason it seems to baffle people when all you really have to do is follow instructions?
