can i just hook up a timing gun? if so where do i point it at? this is on a first gen b16.this is the first time i have had to check it since i got my motor and just wanna make sure i do it right..

thank you.

 

you pont it at the crank pully and you should see the mark when the light hits it

 

You can also adjust the timing using the distributor.

 

cool thanks guys.....
just wanted to make sure i could use a gun before i went out and bought one

 

ok this is coming from a honda factory service manual: start engine hold at 3k with no load until radiator fan comes on, then let it idle. connect timing light to number 1 ign wire, then point the light towards the pointer on the timing belt cover. there should be a red mark on the pulley (there should be 4 marks a group of three and one by itself the red one should be in the middle of the group of 3) on a b16 it should be at 16 degrees plus or minus 2. To adjust loosen bolts on distributor counter clockwise to advance and clockwise to retard. tighten then recheck. I personally adjust while the light is on then tighten than go back and recheck, sometimes it helps to have 2 ppl. also if anyone dissagrees with this, tough **** cause its in the factory manual.
