there is a wire behind the plastic shroud on the passenger side of the firewall. THE WIRE MUST BE DISCONNECTED BEFORE ANY ADJUSTMENT CAN BE MADE. if you fail to do this step, the adjustment WILL be wrong. the wire is tan with a black stripe. it has to be disconnected before you start the engine. the spec is 0 degrees. again if you fail to do this step it WILL be wrong. then the clamp goes on the front spark plug wire on the drivers side and the battery clamps on the light go black to neative and red to positive. then line up the marks the clamp goes on number one cylinder and while it's running, turn the distributor until the mark lines up on the damper......if ya don't follow this very well.....get help. or you'll end up paying for it later
Actually on a 1995 the wire should be under the dash on the passenger side of the truck

How do you set the timing on a 1992 ford f150?
The timing is set by timing marks on the crankshaft pulley. Using a timing light the light will sync with the engine and show if the marks line up properly. To adjust the timing the distributor is turned slightly. There is a clam and bolt under the distributor, loosen these just a bit to be able to move the distributor.

the timing is usually set by adjusting the distributor and using a timing light on the number one cylinder and pointing the light at the harmonic balancer on the bottom of the engine crankshaft pulley,the timing mark on thr balancer should be marked on the correct degree for example 10 degrees before top dead center. as the distributor is turned the timing on the light will adjust to the balancer . to get the correct timing look under your hood for a sticker that has timing and sparkplug gap specs.

Adjust the distributor by loosening its bolts and rotating it until the timing mark aligns with the specified degree on the timing scale. Finally, re-tighten the distributor bolts and disconnect the timing connector.

How do you install a distributor in a 1979 Chevy Silverado?
The is to Bring the engine to TDC ( Top Dead Center ) you can do this by removing the drivers side valve cover and watching the intake valve.. crank over the engine until that rocker arm opens then closes... also there is a timing hash and timing mark on the timing cover, and harmonic balancer. once this is done set the rotor on the distribur so that once it is in the motor it points the Cylinder #1... then install dist cap, then adjust timing using a timing light.... Hope this helped...
When I start my Chevy 350 it knocks?
Check your timing... it sounds like it's too advanced. As far as I know, you tilt your rotor to change it (using a timing light to measure off the timing belt) or just use premium gasoline (the rumor is that it detonates slower).
How do you set the timing on a 1984 Chevy S-10?
If the engine is EFI you must unplug the 4 wire plug behind the distributor before starting. Then rotate the distributor while using a timing light to the correct position. If the engine is NON EFI then you must unplug the vaccum line from the distributor and adjust the same way. You should plug the line off to avoid a high idle situation as well..
