replacing dizzy, do you need to use timing gun?
My question is pretty simple and I'm 90% sure I know the answer, but I want to make sure (cause mistakes on the engine aren't cheap 
). When replacing my dizzy, do I need to align it exactly like it was before or can I just pop it on, eyeball it to close how it was before, and then let the ECU compensate for it? And how exactly does the ECU compensate? Explain that too. TIA

Alright thanks for the info. But then what do people say about jumping the service connector or it will reset itself (like when they turn the dizzy toward the firewall to advance timing)? Kinda confused on all that
