[QUOTE="maylar, post: 77593, member: 541144"] ATF, bad idea. PLEASE only use recommended oil in your 'Bird. Timing doesn't slip that much without something being way wrong. Like skipping a tooth on the timing chain. If that's the case, then adjusting the timing back to specs is just a band-aid.. and yes, the motor will run like crap. If the mechanic didn't disconnect the computer advance when setting the timing, he could have it off by a mile. 45* of advance would have made the engine ping like a mother. Something's fishy here. You need to get a timing light and check it yourself, or get a second opinion. What engine is in that? Chebby 305 with a Q-Jet? How many miles? [/QUOTE]
