Do I have the arrow on the #1 spark plug wire? This is a distributor for a 2.0l stock FI engine.

IIRC there is an index mark on the dizzy body. Top surface, where the cap mates. Very thin notch, no bigger than a hacksaw cut or a chisel mark. I'm used to seeing this on Bosch distributors but I can't swear it's on T-IV's...

Why would you bring the engine to TDC for valve adjustments? "It couldn't hurt..." You are correct, it just needs to be on the base circle. Your technique is definitely faster once you accept the Zen of it. Some people need to be guided by 'the official documented procedure' and if the cylinder is at TDC Compression, which is (normally) easily verifiable, then you _know_ the valves are on the base circle. |
