To set the timing on a 327 motor with a High Energy Ignition (HEI) system, first ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for cylinder number one. Then, connect a timing light to the battery and the number one spark plug wire. Start the engine and aim the timing light at the timing mark on the harmonic balancer; adjust the distributor until the timing mark aligns with the desired advance specification. Typically, a timing of around 8-12 degrees BTDC at idle is a good starting point, but refer to the specific engine setup for precise settings.
show me how set the timing on a Cleveland motor
what are the timing marks on a chev 305 motor for the year 1995.
4, to 8 degrees.
You can try by vacuum- try to bring it to 20 Hg at idle, but a timing light is much more accurate
327 is a Chevy motor. Mostly put in a older Impala or older Malibu, But you can do swap and put it in anything that has the same set up.
Separate issue, if you need too set the timing following a timing belt change or belt slippage then you have to set the mechnical timing of the motor. Go buy a Chilton or Haynes manual which will tell you where the marks are and you can properly set the timing before starting the motor.
You don't set timing on a carburator or are you asking the timing on the motor
16deg. BTDC
There is no timing ajustment, Its controled by ECM- Computer.
Neither. The timing should be set to factory specifications.
In mechanics books it says to set the timing to 6 DBTDC with a timing light, (Caution: this is with all the pollution stuff on the motor) If you removed the pollution gadgets the timing should be set with a vacuum gauge and the timing will be 12 DBTDC.
how do i set a 327 9 degrees back
