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.

QUOTE BTDT. Ended up using a cold chisel and letter/number punches to mark the flywheel on a 2.4 conversion. Just line up the pulley notches with the case seam as you do it and you'll be fine. While timing CAN be done at the pulley on a 914/6, it just makes NO sense at all (and it's more than a little scary) ......... The Cap'n |
