Wanted to post my experience doing this,

I used a cheap clear bluetooth ODB scanner (Foseal) and the Android DashCommand app, with the PID unlock for my truck year '97 ($10 for app and $10 for year unlock). Had to add PID Cam Retard CKP / CMP Correlation to the data grid on app. Spec is +2 to -2 degrees from what I read. I could NOT get Torque Pro to work with custom PID settings.

Kept the distributor hold down bolt just tight enough so it would stay put after turning it. Throttle it up by hand above 1000rpm to update degree reading. Turn it in spec and tighten down.

I went from +20, rough idle and coding, to smooth as butter at +0.8, starts as it should now. No more P1345
