To set the timing on a 1988 Ramcharger with a 318 engine, first ensure the engine is at operating temperature and then turn off the engine. Disconnect the timing connector, usually located near the ignition coil, to avoid any computer interference. Use a timing light and connect it to the number one spark plug wire, then check the timing mark on the harmonic balancer against the timing tab. Adjust the distributor by rotating it until the timing aligns with the specified degrees (typically around 10-12 degrees BTDC) before reconnecting the timing connector and rechecking the timing.
