How do I check timing with a timing light on a /6. I know how to set the static timing however I want to check with a light. I have seen that some cut an acess panel in the firewall. I don't want to do that at this point. There isn't enough room to fit a timing light.

soo.... it looks like even the worst one is all in by 3500 rpm, so why rev the shit out of the engine? just because it sounds cool? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) You're 2 for 2 in wrong-ness. These charts are distributor speeds, which are half of engine RPM. |
