How can i Change a dual pickup distributor to a points distributor on a 318 Chrysler motor?
To change a dual pickup distributor to a points distributor on a Chrysler 318 motor, first, remove the existing dual pickup distributor by disconnecting the ignition wires and the mounting bolt. Next, install the points distributor in the same position, ensuring it aligns properly with the camshaft. Connect the ignition wires according to the firing order and set the ignition timing as required. Finally, adjust the points for the correct gap and ensure everything is secured before starting the engine.
How do you set the timing on an 83 350 with points type distributor?
A 1983 engine doesn't have points, but if you have changed to a points distributor use the same timing settings that were used with the original distributor. if you can time an engine with a hei dist. it's the same way with points. you have to use a timing light, and turn the dist. to retard ,or advance the timing. If the engine has been fitted with a GM type distributor there should be an access door to the side of the distributor cap. Use a "dwell tach" (with the engine running) to set the dwell, then use the timing light to set the timing. If it's not a HEI ignition then it's safe to assume that it's not EFI either so you'll set the timing by loosening the retaining bolt at the base of the distributor, then turn the distributor to align the timing mark with the amount of advance indicated for your altitude. The timing light will cause the mark to appear that the dampener pulley has stopped and you will be able to move the mark as you turn the distributor. NOTE! When setting the timing always remember to disconnect the vacuum line.
When should you change the timing belt in your Oldsmobile silhouette 1998?

If you turn the distributor cap will that change the timing?
yes. +++ In fact it's how the timing is adjusted.
How do you gap points?
I remove the distributor and rotate until the points are at the widest opening. Then using a .017mm fueler Gage I set the point gap. Reinstall the distributor, set timing and roll!
Does a fuel injection engine have points in a distributor?
No, a fuel injection engine does not have points in a distributor. Traditional ignition systems used in carbureted engines often employed a distributor with points to control the timing of the spark. In modern fuel-injected engines, ignition timing is typically managed electronically without the need for mechanical points. Instead, these engines may use coil-on-plug systems or distributor-less ignition systems (DIS) for more precise control.
What direction does a 307 Oldsmobile distributor rotate?
The distributor in a 307 Oldsmobile engine rotates in a clockwise direction. This is common for many General Motors engines from that era. Proper timing and alignment are crucial for optimal engine performance, so ensuring the distributor is set up correctly is important during installation or maintenance.

How do you set the timing on a 97 olds achieva?
To set the timing on a 1997 Oldsmobile Achieva, first ensure the engine is at operating temperature and then disconnect the timing connector, usually located near the distributor. Next, use a timing light to check the current timing mark against the specified timing in the service manual. Adjust the timing by loosening the distributor hold-down bolt and rotating the distributor until the correct timing is achieved, then retighten the bolt and reconnect the timing connector. Always double-check the timing after adjustments to ensure accuracy.
How do you set timing on 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada?
To set the timing on a 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada, first ensure the engine is at TDC (top dead center) on the compression stroke for cylinder number one. Then, use a timing light connected to the number one spark plug wire and align the timing marks on the harmonic balancer with the timing tab. Adjust the distributor as necessary to achieve the correct timing specification, usually around 10 degrees BTDC, according to the vehicle's service manual. Finally, recheck the timing after tightening the distributor to ensure it hasn't moved.
Can you adjust distruberter if timing is off?
moving the distributor will change the firing order. not the timeing.
