I adjusted it by earball. Really sounds good and revs up quick and smooth.

I want to get it right, though.
What's the drill?

The spec is 35 degrees at 6000 rpm, I set mine at about 37 or 38, less popping from the carbs, runs great. Did a mileage check on the trip to the Riverside BBQ, getting 25.5 mpg at 80, whoo hoo.

These specs are for a stock 2.0 L six. If yours is anything else, double check your manual first.

Take care, Don

Oh yeah, the flywheel is marked for timing and valve adjustment. I barred the engine over using a wrench on the crankshaft bolt below the fan shroud, look thru the small oblong hole behind the breather. I cleaned the marks using one of those toothbrush wire brushes, then highlighted the marks with white paint. Real easy to see now.

Good Luck, Don

Thanks, Don.

The motor is sitting on a pallet right now with a bus trans bell housing bolted on.

I can start and run it.
Can I set the timing off the front pulley?

KT

Yes, The marks are just a lot smaller, might need to use one of those pot scubbers to clean off the pulley. 911's always use the front pulley.
