Yeah, I didn't quite get the meaning.
lol we welcome in here.
no turning people away with our superior intellect.
Definitely important; if you don't do this, your ECU will try and adjust the timing at the same time.
no, i did not.
i fail to remember if i took the connector out before or after i got the car running, but its the best guess to believe that it WASNT in there.
and i was holding it right at idle while timing it, none the less a trial run i guess you could say.
whatdya think?

Check the ignition timing using the correct method.
ok, so i'm flashing the light at the notches, with the connector in.
anything else?

Have a buddy help maintain as best you can a normal engine idle speed. And also do the test only after the engine is fully warmed up.
ah ha! thats also what i failed to remember. 
true, i know what needs to be done but i had checked out for the day. lol
when i got the car going i was stunned. my dad ran out and said to time it and i jumped into action.....too bad they werent all the right actions

ok so i came home today with the intention of timing the car.....got it all setup and friggin dad saw a damn wire on the header and watched the wire melt onto the BRAND FU&KING NEW HEADER!!!!!!! and then said....."oh this is burning!" goddamn idiot!
anyway, he left and i tried to do it myself and i did manage to check it, and i saw NO NOTCHES!
it was timed, and i saw no notches. idk what the heck was going on.
i had the connector in, and the engine was warm.
THE HEADER GOT SUPER HOT! how is that possible? it only ran for 3-4 minutes at around 1500 rpms. the timing HAS to be off?! it can't be anything else. not a clogged fuel filter, nothing with ignition.....
the only thing could be timing.

no. and if i can be so bold as to add my opinion, my engine has never sounded this rough and tumbly. it heated up SUPERfast, and it was very hard to get it to turn over initially.
