I just swapped out my d16a6 for a j-spec replacment. and i dont know if the ignition timing is the same. and if it is the same which mark on the crank am i supposed to allign it with. my hays manual says to look under the hood. but i have an aftermarket hood. so i have no idea what im doing. please help.

 

There should be a mark above the crank pulley....

 

which of the 4 marks on the crank

this is what the crank mark looks like, but i dont know which one to allign the timing mark to.

#1 #2 #3 #4
which number to i allign my mark to?

 

There should be four marks. Three in a group and one all by itself. The one by itself is used to set tdc when installing the timing belt. The other three are the timing marks. You should set the timing to the middle mark which is stock timing.

 

im supposed to set my timing to 10 degrees which mark is that? do you know? thanks for the help to.

 

10 degrees retard, or 10 degrees advanced?

Heres a how-to on adjusting timing... Should help u out some...
