Post Help Timing Light what mark to use????

i just replaced my distributor because its hella leaking, and the coil started to go bad. when i removed the dizzy i marked where the rotor was. it was at number one spark plug. when i installed the thing i put it on the same way it came off with the new dizzy.

motor a d15z1

So i jumped the ecu, checked the timing w/timing gun. i see the white line that is fartest to the firewall and three lines that is together facing front.

There are a total of four lines in all on the crank pulley.

what is the correct timing light to set the mark inline to????


i tried the white line fartest from the other three it seem to bottom out not to even come close to the mark.

what line do i use im confused?????

If your timing gun has a dial or buttons to set the "advance" then you use the TDC (White) mark with the advance set @ 16. If you have a static gun with no ability to adjust it's flashing point, then you use the Red mark (middle of the three close together).
