Thread: Timing - too advance? or too retarded?

Since you know its wrong now, there is no need to mark it yet---adjust it , check with timing lite for future referance AND THen maybe mark it

The only reason I suggested marking it first is because you know how sometimes the distributor turns a little when you loosen the clamp, if he marks it first he can make sure it is still in the original position and go from there. It just gives him a positive way to know his starting point, plus it will give him a way to know how far he is turning the distributor until he finds the sweet spot. If there is no mark to reference off of you wonder "did I turn it enough or not", by actuallly seeing the original mark you know how far you have gone each time.
