To set the timing on a 1988 2.5L S10 engine, first ensure the engine is at operating temperature, then turn it off. Disconnect the timing connector (usually located near the distributor) to set the timing; start the engine and use a timing light to check the timing mark on the crankshaft pulley against the timing tab. Adjust the distributor by loosening the hold-down bolt and rotating it until the timing mark aligns with the specified degree in the service manual. Reconnect the timing connector and check for proper operation.
Not much; they are a sled. Sorry, but I had one. Mark
10 degrees
how do you set timing on 88 s10 2.5? ?
It has a Timing Chain.
The 97 S10 2.2L engine doesn't have a timing belt.
Dot to Dot
Chain
The timing chain is designed to last the life of the engine.
2.8 or 4.3
The 4.3 engine will not bolt up to the 2.8 transmission.
It does not have a timing belt. It has a chain and gears.If timing chain goes out then the engine will not run.
I can't find the connection point for a tachometer on my 1988 Chevy S10 with a 2.8 L engine.
