First you need a timing light which I assume you have. There is a notch on crank pulley,put a dab of white paint on it. Connect timing light, if off loosen bolt for distributor and adjust accordingly.Manual states 8 degrees BTDC @ 800 RPM. This is also assuming that all other components are in good working condition,timing belt etc.
You Start off by taking the CAS (crank angle sensor) out.Then your main pulley must be set to the yellow mark.After that the CAS has 3 dots on the gear it has on the bottom,the one that is at the top of the gear must be set at the mark the CAS has.When your settingthe pulley turn it only clockwise.this is how ido it without tools.Just a 10mm socket and 19mm for the pulley.Your welcome
twist the distributor while pointing a timing light at the camshaft pulley and degree scale, after shorting a couple pins on a covered connector above the master cylinder

The timing on a 1989 Dodge truck should be set to 10* after unplugging the temperature sensor.

89 Buick Century uses a timing Chain. Not a belt.
No. 86-88 are the same. 89-91 are the same.
sounds like a sparkplug is fouled or the timing is off
i have a 93 4.3 tbi..i set mine at 13deg. works well on 89 octane. 12deg for 87octane at 700rpm
