ive searched no help at all how do you advance timming and retard timming i know you need a timming gun

 

alright, basically you have to know how to use a timing light. you attach that, and then to advance timing you turn the dist. towards the firewall, retard is the opposite direction. im not sure how you measure how much youre advancing/retarding though in degrees

 

thanks anymore help?

 

first you need a timing gun light.

Second its pretty simple process to do.

On the crank pulley it self you have 4 marks

0 Degrees BTDC

14, 16, 18, respectively all together are the other marks on the crank .

What you want to do is set your gun to 16 and adjust distributor so it flashes at the correct mark which in your case for stock would be 16. Two advance it two degrees redo and adjust distributor fowared a little till you hit the 18 mark.

 

wait are we talking about ingition timming or camshaft timming?i am talking about intake and exhaust timming is this the same?no actaully its not their marking on the cam gears thats what i want to know how to?

 

If you're talking about camshaft timing, then you don't need a timing light. What's your question anyway? How to physically change the cam timing? Or do you want to know which way, how much, why to make adjustments...

2nd; for those people who search & find this thread... THIS IS WRONG.

Same thing if you set the dial to ZERO. If you set your gun to 16, then you have to adjust for the single TDC notch over by itself. If you do what he says your spark timing will be 32 degrees BTDC...
