aim the light at timing mark on timing cover next to the crank shaft pully
and pull the triger the light will flash every time #1 cyclender firers
Use a timing light
you turn the distributor and use a timing light
You CANNOT use a timing light on that engine. ( won't work ) It requires an OBDII engine scanner to set the timing. The timing is computer controlled.
That requires an OBDII engine scanner. the timing is electronic controled. You can NOT use a timing light.
That requires an OBD2 engine scanner to set the timing. You can NO longer use a timing light.
That requires a OBDII engine scanner. You CANNOT use a timing light
That requires the use of an OBDII engine scanner. The timing is electronic controlled and the OLD timing light will not work.
The timing on that year engine is computer controlled. It requires an engine scanner to set the timing. YOU CAN NOT USE A TIMING LIGHT.
That requires an OBD2 engine scanner to set the timing. The timing is electronic controlled. You can NOT use a timing light it won't work.
To use a timing light on a 1978 Chevette with a 1.6L engine, first ensure the engine is at operating temperature and the ignition is set to the desired timing specification. Connect the timing light's clamp to the number one spark plug wire and attach the power leads to the battery (positive to positive and negative to ground). Start the engine and aim the timing light at the crankshaft pulley or timing marks on the engine, observing the timing marks to check if the ignition timing aligns with the specified setting. Adjust the distributor if necessary to achieve the correct timing.
Use a timing light with vacuum advance disconnected set base timing to 6 degrees
not for changing the belt. however you will need it for the ignition timing once you have replaced the timing belt
