How do you set the timing on your Chevy 350?
IN order to answer this question, the year of the motor is a necessity because the type of ignition differs. Yet, since you are talking about setting timing it is probably a motor with a distribuitor, as opposed to coil packs. To set timing, you must have a timing light; a light with an advance is optimal and what I use. Start off by connecting the power leads of the light to your vehicle's motor and the other lead wire to the number one cylinder plug wire on your motor (the cylinder on the right bank in the very front when facing the front end of the vehicle). Then, start the vehicle and point the timing light towards the left side of the harmonic balancer, there should be a small plate with an "A , 0 , and R". On the harmonic balancer, there should be a small tick mark that keeps moving, that will point out the timing. In order to adjust timing, you must move the distributor back and forth after loosing the retaining nut for it. Set the desired advance on your timing light and then move the distributor until you see the tick mark hitting "0". Optimal timing for a stock 350 is about 12 to 13. after the timing is set, tighten up the retaining nut, shut down the motor, and clean up.

What is the degree timing mark for 1965 327 small block Chevy?
the timing mark is an engraved line on the flywheel. there should be a metal flap offset of the flywheel with markings for A (advanced), O (ontime), and R (retarded). use a timing light connected to the spark plug wire for #1 cylinder. That is how it is in my 65 impala 327 Minor correction is that the timing mark is on the front damper not the flywheel.
How do you set the timing on a craftsman 4.0 hp lawnmower mod 917.382771?
You set the time by making sure the key way is installed in the flywheel perfectly. If it is loose or bent the engine will be out of time.
Why is your engine missing when you just replaced plugs plug wires distributor cap and roter?
Check the timing and the points
AnswerWhen you change the plugs and cap and wires you have to make sure you get the right wires to the right plugs that's usally the probelm is that the wires don't get put back with the right plugs. AnswerMake sure the before you remove the rotor note which way rotor is pointing and make sure that you install the new rotor pointing in the same direction. The it should wok if you haven't removed the distributor. If you don't remember which way the rotor was pointing just try switching the rotors position. Note: Not all distributor rotors can be mounted in different ways and some only mount one way.What is the firing order for 1996 ford bronco 1 5.8 Eddie Bauer's?

How do you clear a code 42 on a 91 lumina apv that has a new distributor coil plugs and wires?
You clear code 42 just as you clear any other code. Disconnect the battery cable from the battery for 30 seconds, then reconnect. (It's good practice to disconnect the battery cable whenever disconnecting or changing any electrical components.) Afterwards, check the "check engine light" to see if the code 42 is cleared. This answer applies only to '95 and older models (OBD-1).
