I set the timing staticly by using the timing mark on the fan(it's red on mine) not the zero. alighned it with the notch in the fan housing and then turned the dist to alighn the rotor with the mark on the top of the dist. case.
Will this get me close? |

Matchbook? Well, the cover can be used as an emergency point-gap gauge...
Just a note to the original poster--the red mark is probably the regular (dynamic) timing mark. You'll find the engine quite hard to start with that timing, and the idle will be fairly high. (At least, if you've got a 1.7 or 2.0 flywheel with the 27 deg BTDC timing mark.) Since the motor is out, double-check the TDC mark on the fan with the one on the flywheel. Trust the flywheel over the fan, BTW. And it's not a bad idea to put paint marks on the front part of the fan so you can read them more easily when trying to set the timing the "right" way, with the engine in the car. And I personally like to also put a paint mark on the fan and flywheel at 180 degrees out from the TDC mark. --DD |
