Using a test lamp, set the timing to TDC on an old car or such. Then, at slow idle, see if the timing light agrees with this setting. If not, use the dial to compensate for the off-set (+ or -2 degrees for example) A thought that occurred to me was to fire up the wife's car with #1 plug wire connected to a dummy spark plug. By aiming the light at the spark plug and the dial set to zero, I could see if the spark and the light were in sync, or compensate accordingly? Isn't it funny (!) how it's often the wife's car/hair dryer/iron/kitchen utensils/scissors that find their way into the garage for some "take no prisoners" experiment...been there, done that. It's usually the grease stains the give me away! |
