odd timing results

JNLemons · Aug 17, 2010

I can't find my timing mark when I have my light hooked up to number 1 spark plug. I have even advanced and ******** as far as you can go both ways in attempt to find it to no avail. Out of curiosity I decided to hook my light up to the other plugs. when I'm hooked up to the number 3 spark plug there it is. I'm not sure what is going on with my truck right now. Anyone got an explanation? I thought you hooked up to number one to adjust the timing.

Well you are almost right... I remember there is something that NEEDS to be disconnected before you work on the timing but **** I, for some reason, can't remember what it is...

There is a little "plug" of some sort that must be removed when you are adjusting the timing. And yes I did remove it.

yo,

ok that plug is da SPOUT

Clean timing marks up w/ a wire brush or some sandpaper; I used a portable Dremel with small wirebrush ( a great little tool!).

Mark 10* BTDC with a white/yellow crayon or borrow wife/GF's... etc... wwhite nail polish. There will be two 10's showing, you want the red 10 below. The marks will look like:

If the color doesn't appear (RED) on the correct 10, you want the 10 just to da LEFT of the 20,,,
