On a 1996 Chevy Astro Van, the timing mark on the crankshaft pulley that indicates top dead center (TDC) is typically aligned with a mark on the timing cover. The mark on the pulley is usually at 0 degrees, which corresponds to TDC for cylinder number one. To ensure accuracy, it's advisable to verify this with the vehicle's service manual or specifications, as markings can vary or may be difficult to see.
I contacted the Chevy Dealer and he informed me that the Chevy astro van has a timing "chain", not a timing belt and requires no maintanence action for this item.
The crank position sensor On your astro is located on front of the engine on timing cover, left side. Behind the crankshaft pulley. with a connector of 3 wires.
how to replace a center link on Chevy astro van 1994 suspension
pulley pump???? i know the 89 astro and i do not know what you mean?
I have a '90 so I think it would be the same, on mine it is at the front of the engine on the bottom pulley. (crankshaft pulley or vibration dampener) To view the scale and mark I have to look down, a little on the drivers side of center. Beside the break resivour is a good viewpoint, looking just over the timing light. I have to run the timing pickup coil in through the drivers door or window and into the open doghouse cover. Good luck. God Bless!
