Dumb questions about timing!
Do you really need a timing gun? I searched and read a couple posts that basically say " just adjust the dizzy in the middle and make sure it doesn't ping or bog." Please correct me if I'm wrong. And does anyone have a DIY for timing WITH PICS? I searched and searched!

Re: (EGin6)
you probably can BUT if ya realy wanna know what the motors set at just spend alittle extra cheese and get a timing light. ive bought several at garage sales preaty cheap some brand new and nice ones as well.
i wouldnt do it by eye/ear...... or just find a friend that has one and borrow it for 10min time it in his driveway and hand the tool back.LOL then you know its right!

Re: (addiction2bass)
bump for DIY on timing belt, links anyone? Not that link with the del sol DIY timing belt/water pump, i've seen that and its a little confusing due to no picture labeling IMHO.

IMO its not safe. A cheap Timing gun only costs like $20 anyway
But if you have not touched anything yet and its still timed right, make a perfect straight line across the dizzy with a pen/thin marker. Then when you put the dizzy back on just match the lines perfectly.
