have a friend crank the engine Posted by Notnoel [Email] (#23) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Notnoel) on Wed, 9 Jun 2010 11:17:57 In Reply to: timing; 86 900, Bruce, Tue, 8 Jun 2010 13:26:43 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Turn the distributor all the way in one direction or another (within reason). Then have a friend try to start the car while you rotate the distributor. When you get close the engine will start, then turn it to the smoothest idle you can get. That will be within a few degrees of the right timing, then use your light to dial it in.
Once you get it set, scratch a mark onto the distributor body and housing, so you can quickly line it up in the future.
