Message	About to fire up the Z after finally getting the TT swap done on my vert. Just some quick questions. Before starting I need to set my TPS and then I’m left with the initial start up and setting the timing. First question, do I need to prime the oil pump and if so, what’s the best way to do it? Do I set the CAS to the middle position until it’s running and I can get a timing light on it or should I set it to some other position?
