A general number for timing is around 10 but that can change based on the engine setup. The idle speed also depends on the set up but its about 900-1000 and 700-800 in gear with a stock engine.

How do you set the timing on a 1997 Ford Escort?

There is no provision for setting the ignition timing. The timing is set by the computer by way of engine sensors sending signals to it by such things as temperature, load, speed, and intake air.


What is the ignition timing for a 1969 Chevy 396 big block?

1 8 4 3 6 5 7 2 An oldie, but a goodie- have fun. The ignition timing is 4 degrees before top dead center. Adjust the point dwell to 30 degrees and the adjust the idle speed. then disconnect the vacuum to the vacuum advance and set the timing. Reconnect the vacuum and fine tune the carburator. With an upgrade to electronic ignition and with running todays gas (low octane) a bump up in timing would be recomended. Try running about 6 degrees after and see how it does would not go above 12 after.

Can you set timing without timing gun?

If you mean set ignition timing, generally not although with certain VWs you need a scan tool instead of a timing light. For any vehicle with adjustable ignition timing, there is a correct method for setting ignition timing which may require specific operating temperature and engine speed and possible unplugging something or pressing some buttons. If you just want to get ignition timing somewhere near reasonable on a carbureted engine with no electronic spark timing or advance, you can plug a vacuum gauge into manifold vacuum and turn the distributor until the vacuum reading is highest. A basic timing light can cost as little as $10 or so from an auto parts store and may also be available as a loaner tool. If you're talking about setting cam timing, a timing light is not used.
