Going up the scale from "0" the 4th mark is 8 degrees. Be sure to check the mechanical and vacuum advance as well.
The timing mark on a Chevy Inline 6 engine is located on the flywheel. It is a steel ball. The timing needs to?æbe located at 4 degrees BTDC.
10 degrees btdc with spout connector unplugged.
6 degrees BTDC
it is 7 degrees BTDC
red mark is TDC. 15 degrees BTDC where you want to be is 3 marks after TDC.
10 * BTDC according to my Chilton's Auto Repair manual for the 460 cubic inch V8 engine in a 1970 Lincoln Mark III
The timing depends on model and year. Try 8 degrees BTDC. It should run fine at that setting.
You have to have a good old fashioned timing light, make sure the engine is warm and idling at 800 rpm look down at the crank from the front and you will see numbers 0-10 the hash marks with numbers equal 2 degrees. Now there is a mark on the pulley, TURN off the engine and use some white out to help brighten the mark. Restart the engine and squeeze the trigger on your light shine it down the front of your engine. Loosen the bolt on the distributor 12mm and move distributor back and forth until the white mark on your pulley lines up with the hash mark that denotes 8 degrees. 8 degrees BTDC at 800 RPM
find the timing spec on the label under the hood ( i think its 10 degrees BTC) get engine to operating temperature find the grey plug in the engine compartment labeled "diagnosis" open the cover and with a jumper wire, connect tmls. TE1 and E1 (this makes the engine run at base timing) clamp timing light around #1 plugwire clip power and ground leads of timing light to battery shine on timing marks, if the timing is off loosen the 2 12mm bolts securing the distributor to the head and twist until the mark on the pulley matches the spec. tighten the bolts remove timing light and jumper IGNITION TIMING: Carburated models Without vacuum advance hose connected: 3 degrees BTDC. With vacuum advance hose connected: 12 to 18 degrees BTDC. 1990 through 1993 fuel-injected models With test terminals T and E1 grounded: 10 degrees BTDC. Without test terminals T and E1 grounded: timing fluctuates between 7 and 17 degrees BTDC. 1994 fuel injected models With test terminals TE1 and E1 grounded: 10 degrees BTDC. Without test terminals TE1 and E1 grounded: timing fluctuates between 7 and 17 degrees BTDC.
The timing marks on a Dodge 2.2 is next to the oil. This is under the hood.
Most of these older Mopars like to run at 10 BTDC. Unplug the vaccum line to the distributor, mark the harmonic balancer with a little white paint on the 10 BTDC mark and hook up your light; loosen the distributor, move the distributor a little at a time. I hope this helps a little.
