timing on a DE SR

zellx2004 · Oct 14th, 2006, 05:01 PM

Anyone know where I can find info about putting my DE SR back in time? I've seen how to put a DET in time, but no clue on the distributor. Any help would be great.

Should be the same on the DE, with the motor at TDC just align the two dots on the distributor and put it in... Just like in the FSM.
I could be wrong, but it should be the same.

Just put the crank pulley on TDC (on the compression stoke) and mark the dis. yourself by looking at the dis cap and finding #1 spark plug wire spot on the cap. then u mark the dis with the spot were the cap say's one is. your still going to need a timing light to do it right so u don't detonate when u drive the car.
