just did the timing on my 91 tercel... very easy... only problem i think im a hair off... runs great but when doggin it, it has a slight hessatation until high rpms and then skoots off.. ima borrow a friends timing light and see whats the deal... your best bet is to hit up autozone or advanced auto and buy a HAYNES book... that's what i used plus a little past knowledge and it worked out easily...
