I have a 2.0L with carbs, web cam, and petronix. I need to reset the distributor, as the nut worked itself loose at a track day, and the timing is off. I have never timed an engine before. I have a timing light, adjustable. Is the procedure as follows?
1. put light a 7 degrees, at idle, white mark should be in timing notch. move distributor to adjust 2. Rev engine to 3500 RPM, put light at 34 degrees, white mark should again be in timing notch, again, move distributor to adjust. 3. Back light down to 7 degrees, at 3500 rpm, and the red mark should line up in the timing notch? Also, at 3500 RPM, the timing mark is not steady, it jumps around, i am assuming that is do to the increased play in the drive gear at speed. |
