I recently went to Pep Boys and bought a timing gun.

my question is, when the gun is set to 16 degrees advanced, I see the white mark line up with the notch, but when I clear out the 16 degrees from the gun (0 degrees) I see the red mark line up. Is this the way everything should be on a stock B16A2? I'm just making sure everything is golden before I go to dyno.

Here's the video, half way through I cleared the timing to 0 (on the gun) and you'll see the white mark jump to red. You need Quicktime, also make the video double size (it will help to see).

Let me know what you think, thanks.

 

Yes that is correct you timing is right, that is the way it is supposed to be you just bought a really fancy gun so you can set timing off TDC.
