This may seem stupid.. But, I went to check the timing, and I can't get to it. The timing marks are right up against the firewall. So, is there some trick to it? And, I hope you don't have to crawl under a running car to get to it...

Timing is probably more like 28 or 32 degrees total advance, and you want to set the timing at full advance.
Your best bet is going to be to rotate the engine so you can see the timing mark on the front pulley line up(with a mirror) and then make a paint mark on the flywheel, then use the mark on the flywheel to set the timing with the engine running. This is also why some guys cut an access hole in the firewall right in front of the fan pulley. |
