On an older 350 get the motor running and slowly turn distributor until the miss (slight sputter out of exaust) goes away. At idle the motor should run smoot and not "hop" inconsistantly. adjust carberator at this point. to further bring it in find a safe place where you wont run anything over. put car into gear and hold brake. throttle up slowly. if you hear "clattering" from motor retard timing slightly. repeat until clattering stops. if you throttle up and tire spinning occurs you are pretty close (and most likely giving it too much gas).
That requires some one that has an OBD2 engine scanner and KNOWS how to use it. The timing is electronic controlled. You can set the base timing by ear.
how do you set the timing for a 1997 Chevy 350 5.7 engine
how do i set the timing for a chevy 350 small block?
In order to set the timing on a 98 Chevy 350 vortex, you have to time with a scan tool that will let you set timing. Or let garage do it
There is a big difference in how timing is set. We need to know what year.
turn the distributor
trying to set base timing on a 97 Chevy c1500 with a 5.7 engine the wire to disconnect to set base timing is ?
The timing on that engine is controled by the PCM / computer. You can set it by ear good enough to make it run. But you will need a OBD II engine scanner to get it right.There is no other way.
The timing is electronic controlled. You MUST have an OBDII engine scanner to set the timing to specs. Timing light will not work.
Chevrolet s10 v6 2.8 liter pickup timing degree, how to set the degree
I would set it by ear, and performance.
after diconecting the computer, the timing should be ajusted and set at zero deg.!!! 00000
