Ignition Timing

  1. Warm engine at normal operating temperature. Turn engine off and connect the non-positive leads of the air injection system electrovalve terminals (on left front fender well) to vehicle ground by means of a jumper wire.
  2. Be sure idle speed is within 800-850 RPM. Disconnect and plug advance unit vacuum line. Connect timing light to No. 1 cylinder. Start engine and adjust timing until crankshaft pulley notch aligns with 10°BTDC mark on timing plate. Reconnect line for vacuum advance and remove jumper wire from electrovalve leads. Idle speed should now be 900-950 RPM.
