INSERT PLUG WIRE IN SERIES WITH NO. 1 CYLINDER AND CONNECT BATTERY + TO RED WIRE AND BLACK WIRE TO BATTERY - TERMINAL
hot wire on the timing light goes to pos. side of the battery and the neg. side of timing light goes to ground on the engine someplace and then the plug clip goes on the #1 spark plug wire.
There is a idle screw on the throttle linkage on the carb that you can turn to increase the idle speed and then hook up your timing light to check the timing.
You need a timing light. Hook timing light to #1 plug wire; loosen hold down bolt on the distributor and start car. While looking at timing light pointed to balancer timing marks adjust the distributor to get the timing you want. This assumes you are close to desired timing. If you are way off you will need to line up the rotor with #1 at tdc. HTH
10 degrees is the base timing. chalk can be used to better see the markings. make sure the vehcile is warmked up,pull the spout out and hook up the timing light
you must first have a timing light. you can buy them at any auto parts store. hook the cable to your first sparkplug wire on your block, #1, also one to the negative battery port, then look infront of your block where the biggest pulley is on your block, and behind it you will shine the light down there and see the timing mark, while the engine is running, and the chart on front of block. once u find it, you must loosen the distrubutor cap and rotate it in either direction to advance the timing or retard the timing. watch a video too for extra help :)
to hook up the tach use the hot lead on the disributor and to any good ground wire and if there is a light hook it to the wire on you light switch
leads on battery, inductive on no 1 wire
There is no adjustment on the timing, It is controled by the computer. If you did not have the distributor out then there is no reason to worry about the timing, Unless the check engine light is on and you had it scanned with a engine scanner and it said that the timing was off. You will then need to hook scanner up to engine and go into the timing mode and move the distributor until the light goes out. Then tighten dist. and the computer will do the rest.
hook up a timing light and loosen dist. hold down bolt, located at the base of the distributor. start engine and warm up aim timing light at timing marks located on driver side of timing chain cover. rotate dist. until timing mark is aligned with correct degree mark on timing chain cover. tighten hold down bolt and check to make sure timing has not jumped
UNPLUG THE COMPUTER TIMING CONTROL, and set the ignition to ZERO with engine at idle, hook-up PCM control, YOUR DONE! Good luck, Jamison
Sandy Hook Light was created in 1764.
I believe what you're talking about is that there is two timing tabs on the motor. One at 1 o'clock and 1 at 5 o'clock. The top one is hard to see so gm put one on the bottom where it is easier to get to or see. If you use the top tab you hook your timing light to the #1 plug wire and if you use the bottom tab you hook to the #5 wire
