10 Adjust Timing: With the engine running, point the timing light at the timing marks. Adjust the distributor or
timing mechanism until the timing mark on the crankshaft pulley aligns with the specified timing mark on the
engine block.
11 Tighten Distributor: Once the correct timing is achieved, securely tighten the distributor or locking mechanism
to hold the timing in place.
12 Verify Timing: Recheck the timing to ensure it remains accurate after tightening the distributor. Make any
necessary adjustments to fine-tune the timing if needed.
13 Test Drive: Take the vehicle for a test drive to ensure that it operates smoothly and performs optimally with the
new ignition timing settings.
By following these steps and ensuring the timing is set correctly, you can help maintain your engine’s performance,
efficiency, and longevity.
