To set the timing on a 1987 Toyota Tercel, first ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for cylinder one. Locate the timing marks on the crankshaft pulley and the timing cover, then align them. Adjust the distributor by loosening its hold-down bolt and rotating it until the timing mark on the pulley aligns with the specified degree mark on the timing cover, typically 10-12 degrees BTDC. Finally, tighten the distributor bolt and recheck the timing to ensure proper alignment.
