Answer this question… You can adjust ignition timing on your Jeep Wrangler by rotating the distributor a few degrees. This procedure is possible on the 4.2L engine model only though. On 2.5L and 4.0L models, the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) controls ignition timing. Before starting, make sure you have the correct timing degree and RPMs at idle specified by the vehicle manufacturer. This information is located on the Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECI) label inside the engine compartment.
hot wire on the timing light goes to pos. side of the battery and the neg. side of timing light goes to ground on the engine someplace and then the plug clip goes on the #1 spark plug wire.
There is a idle screw on the throttle linkage on the carb that you can turn to increase the idle speed and then hook up your timing light to check the timing.
You need a timing light. Hook timing light to #1 plug wire; loosen hold down bolt on the distributor and start car. While looking at timing light pointed to balancer timing marks adjust the distributor to get the timing you want. This assumes you are close to desired timing. If you are way off you will need to line up the rotor with #1 at tdc. HTH
10 degrees is the base timing. chalk can be used to better see the markings. make sure the vehcile is warmked up,pull the spout out and hook up the timing light

To turn off a service engine light soon on a 1997 Malibu, you will need to unhook the battery for up to 2 minutes. After you hook the battery back up, the light should be off.
There is no adjustment on the timing, It is controled by the computer. If you did not have the distributor out then there is no reason to worry about the timing, Unless the check engine light is on and you had it scanned with a engine scanner and it said that the timing was off. You will then need to hook scanner up to engine and go into the timing mode and move the distributor until the light goes out. Then tighten dist. and the computer will do the rest.
hook up a timing light and loosen dist. hold down bolt, located at the base of the distributor. start engine and warm up aim timing light at timing marks located on driver side of timing chain cover. rotate dist. until timing mark is aligned with correct degree mark on timing chain cover. tighten hold down bolt and check to make sure timing has not jumped

I believe what you're talking about is that there is two timing tabs on the motor. One at 1 o'clock and 1 at 5 o'clock. The top one is hard to see so gm put one on the bottom where it is easier to get to or see. If you use the top tab you hook your timing light to the #1 plug wire and if you use the bottom tab you hook to the #5 wire
first i assume you have a timing light? if so you slightly loosen the 14mm (on most) bolt at the bottom of your distributor that holds it down and using the timing light point to the indicator marks on the harmonic balancer, then turn the distributor to the recommended factory setting, ( which i would need more info to tell you what it should be) new answer first you bring the vehicle to normal operating temp shut engine off disconnect the timing connector loosen the distributor bolt hook up timing light turn engine on set timing to zero shut engine off disconnect batery hook the connector back connect batery
