After you repaired the burnt wire, have you disconnected the battery? That is what I would try next, see if it will reset the computer. Just disconnect the negative side of the battery, leave it off for about a minute, then reconnect.

If you are still low on power, and want to check the ignition timing, the marks will be on the main crank pulley. You should see a plate hanging out over that pulley, with marks on it. You might have to clean it up to be able to read it easily. Then find the mark on the pulley. When I was setting my ignition timing I put a dot of White-Out on both marks to help me see them. That will show up really well with a timing light.

I don't remember the exact process, but you are supposed to jump two wires, then check the timing. Once it is set correctly, remove the jumper wire and re-connect. I think the directions are on a label under the hood on my truck. Let me know if you need more clarification.

Good luck, and let us know how it turns out.
