How do you time a Mazda rx7 with msd ignition?

Answer 1

To time a Mazda RX-7 with an MSD ignition, start by ensuring the engine is at operating temperature and set to idle. Use a timing light to check the ignition timing by pointing it at the timing marks on the crankshaft pulley and the timing tab. Adjust the timing by loosening the distributor hold-down bolt and rotating the distributor until the desired timing is achieved, typically around 18-20 degrees BTDC for a stock RX-7. Finally, re-tighten the distributor bolt and recheck the timing to ensure it remains consistent.
