I'm Awesome
I know it's been discussed, but I am confused at some of the info and didn't want to hijack a thread.
I got a timing light yesterday to see verify before I started messing with the distributor. If I am looking at it right, wow is it off! The truck runs "pretty good", but at times, it idles like it has a cam, then it's smooth, then it's not, etc...The light showed the timing at the very left end of the indicator tab from the 0* hash mark....as in it was off by about 5 hashes. I am not sure how far off that is, but it definitely is not zero degrees. Also, the diagram on the air cleaner states that 4* is where it should be set? That is the part that kinda makes me wonder. So, before I go messing with anything, I just want to make sure I am reading the hash marks correctly.
What say you guys? Thanks.
