TIMING SPECIFICATIONS
Timing requirements vary from engine to engine and therefore the engine
manufacturer’s specifications should always be referred to before making any
adjustments.
These specifications may be contained in the car owners manual, on the
engine bay label (required on all cars manufactured since 1968), and in
various printed publications. Many spark plug manufacturers such as
“Champion” “Autolite” and others, also provide specifications.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. DO NOT smoke, strike a match, or cause a spark in vicinity of the engine.
2. Remove all rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches while working with a
running vehicle engine.
3. Take great care not to drop metal tools onto the battery or onto the
moving parts of the engine.
4. Do not place the timing light on the hot engine surface and avoid the
engine fan, fan belt and battery to prevent damage.
