Guest Anonymous Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 So, in the quest to have a strong running 02, I tried to time my car this weekend. Unfortunatley, I'm not positive the painted marks are in the right spot. There are 2 notchs in the outer pulley off of the crankshaft, is this TDC? Which way on the pulley is advance? Say, I'm looking at it from the drivers side, away from me or towards me? Thanks for any help you can give me. elias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 when you shoot it with the timing light it should move clockwise as it advances. After 30 years those timing marks may or may not work. Make sure to use a timing light with a dial so you can measure what the total advance is. Timing at idle is best set finding a section of road silgthly uphill, just advance it until it knocks and then back it off a bit. That should be close enough for goverment work... Michael Make sure your valves and dwell are adjusted first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
