To set the timing on a 1996 Chevrolet Caprice, first, ensure the engine is at operating temperature and that you have the proper timing light. Connect the timing light to the battery and the number one spark plug wire. Locate the timing mark on the harmonic balancer and the timing tab on the engine. Adjust the distributor until the timing light shows the correct timing degrees specified for your engine, usually around 0 degrees for the Caprice, then tighten the distributor hold-down bolt.

The neutral safety switch on a 1996 Chevy Caprice is located on the side of the transmission. It prevents the vehicle from being started unless the transmission is current set to park or neutral.
The timing should be set to Top Dead Center (TDC), but you must disconnect the electronic spark advance feature. Unfortunately, I don't know how to disconnect the spark advance. The timing chain is all that can be set. There is no way to set the timing as the distributor is not adjustable.
