To set the ignition timing on an SR20 engine, start by ensuring the engine is at operating temperature and idle speed is stable. Use a timing light and connect it to the number one cylinder's spark plug wire. With the engine running, shine the timing light at the crankshaft pulley, aligning the timing marks with the specifications for your engine (usually found in the service manual). Adjust the timing by loosening the distributor and rotating it until the marks align correctly, then re-tighten the distributor.
