The timing on the 96 SS cannot be adjusted by the owner. Timing is a function of the PCM and inputs from the optispark and crank position sensor. The timing is continually monitored and adjusted based on driving conditions and whether or not the "Knock sensors" are reading a knock condition at which time the PCM will retard the timing to prevent engine damage. This can be altered somewhat by changing the sensitivity od the sensors by modifing their circuits ot by substituting a LS4 knock sensor.
the 1996 s-10 blazer 4.3 vortec has the computer in the engine compartment on the left hand side....if this is true, you cannot, I repeat, cannot adjust the timing.....the computer adjust the timing....you should be able to read it on the sticker under the hood..... ------- The timing is computer controlled - no way to adjust it, the computer does all of that for you.

Since the late 1980s vehicles were made with electronic ignitions and computer control systems. You can not adjust the timing onj them, it's adjusted by the computer as needed for different conditions as determined by various sensors on the engine.
My 1996 1.3L underhood sticker says 5 degrees BTDC idling at 850rpm and connector at left shock tower jumpered to short cicuit to adjust timing. My 1996 1.3L underhood sticker says 5 degrees BTDC idling at 850rpm and connector at left shock tower jumpered to short cicuit to adjust timing.
Timing chain diagram or how to set it
Hello there If you have a 1996 Toyota tacoma,4 cylinders. THERE IS NO WAY to adjust the timing on this trucks,because it comes permanently configured,so you do not worry about adjust timing on your beautiful truck,so you have maybe another problem,or maybe you have to change the whole timing chain kit.
Computer controlled and not adjustable
The 3.8 liter V6 engine in a 1996 Ford Mustang has a timing CHAIN
