Hi Guys, big shout from Germany. Hell of a good training lesson on how to tune up your engine. Thank you alot guys. Would be nice if you get over the pond and tune up my Dauntless 225 with me
Thanx, thanx, thanx!
really appreciate this!!
The Vortec 350s and 4.3s,you don’t set the distribitor with a timing light.It is set with a scan tool.The part inside the distribitor tells the computer when to fire the fuel injectors
@LaosToaster your HS spends a month to learn timing?
@gmcjoshua follow the spark plug wires back to the distrbuter nd make sure its the right wire for the right cylinder. theres going to be a set of numbers on your block the shows you how the distrbuter is supposed to be wired. the front of your distributer might be 1 then . 8 being on the passenger side and 1 on driver side.
Thank you!
my good idea is to clip the timing light cable on no.1 plug lead up near the dizzy cap.It stops you burning your fingers on the pipes , and prevents the clip coming into contact with the hot pipes.
@jonathan99786 then you have to figure out why its not starting…..
great video, thx
what about if the engine doesn’t starts since the begin…
Were would you set the timing on a 1946 Cadillac Flathead V8. I marked TDC on my Harmonic Balancer, when I had the Head off. When putting the timing light should it fire before TDC or after.
My Harmonic markings were long gone. ANY HELP…
Thanks
I guess this doesnt work on engines that are controled by the computer
@gmcjoshua sounds too lean or timing is off
I have a problem with my 350 it shoots 2 ft. flames out the carb and pops white smoke I.give it half pedal it sound ok Its a 1984 It has a elderbrock carb idk wats wrong w it . I put all new plugs wires cap all new
@mariahkraft
Depends on the car. If the car is using a CC distrbuter (common on late mid 80′s chevy that used CC Q-Jet’s) Then the timing is computer controlled and pretty much hard programmed into the chip. The only “setting” that is done is simply unplugging the data cable on the distrbuter it setting it to true TDC at idle and plugging it back in. There is no real adjustment to them. Short of reprogramming the chip (its written in stright assmbley so good luck with that)
there is no “typical” timing for a SBC they all vary drasticly wile a stock cam 350 will generally run at around 8 to 11 a 305 will perfer around 5 to 8. This can also vary drasticly based on year and engine model number. So overall there is no “typical”.
Great video thanks.
@mariahkraft maybe not on a new car
OMG thank you so much. I just had a mechanic tell me you can’t adjust the timing of a car haha… I guess I am going to do it myself. Thanks guys!!
Excellent, clear and concise.
Well done easy to understand, keep them coming
