I'm trying to adjust timing on my 2.0L and ran into an issue. The bolt you loosen, to rotate the dizzy, is underneath the vacuum can. I can't seem to find a tool to get under there to loosen or tighten. I've had the dizzy out and removed the vacuum advance and it's no problem getting to it. Is there something way off with my distributor?
Thanks for telling me the secret.   |
