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? |

The 0 is TDC, which is "about" what the static timing should be. The hash mark is the timing mark for when the engine is running. Remember, the timing changes depending on engine RPM--so the 1.7 or 2.0, which needs to be timed at 3500 RPM, has a timing mark that is very different than the timing would be at 0 RPM. Use TDC as your timing mark if you time the engine statically. That should get it close enough to run, then you can set the timing to spec using the timing mark at the correct RPM. (With the vacuum hose/s disconnected from the distributor dashpot and, on a 1.8, plugged.) --DD |
