![]() I have been doing research and some say it might just be water, some say the cat might be plugged but others say it might be the ignition module. (they stole my custom made seats) It has been about a year now and i have seats but when I drive, it bogs really bad, losses all power and when i hit the breaks it dies, but will die without hitting the breaks. After that I had no seats for the vehicle. My problem is, the vehicle was stolen and recovered. which would meen, I would have to turn it counterclockwise a quarter of a turn if not more to get it in the right position. Now, I just took a look at mine and the 10BTC is a quarter turn clockwise on the HB. First off, this has been the most detailed post I have read. Timing any motor should be done basically this way. I've used this method on a buddy's 460, and had it running within minutes. NOTE: This method will work on most V8's, not just the 302 or 351. ATC 10||||0||||10 ||||20||||30 BTC (Each " |" represents 2 degrees) Or just know that you'll want the 10*BTC mark to be just under the timing pointer (hidden). ![]() I've made 12* and 14*BTC red so you can see where you'll need to line up the pointer for the sixlitre tune up. If doing the sixlitre tune up, you'll want to make your mark on the 12* or 13* BTC instead of ten. If the mark is lined up where you want it, replace the spout connector. Recheck again after the distributor is tight. Next, if the mark is off by a little bit, turn the distributor so the mark lines up with the pointer. It helps to have the truck partway in a garage to darken the surrounding light so you can see the timing marks every time the light flashes. Aim the light towards the timing pointer, and see where the yellow/white mark on the 10* BTC that you made is at. The spout will look like this for the ones that's near the distributor (84-91). Now pull the spout connector or pull the vacuum line off the distributor and plug the line. > Make sure all wires from timing light are away from the fan.<. It's in more details and I'm not going to explain using the dial in this thread.yet (post 12). The dial is another way to read the balancer if going by a mark that's at 0* TDC. If it's not at 0*, then your timing will not be set right accordingly to these instructions. And this is why I do this at 10*BTC and not 0*TDC:ĪTC 10||||0|||| 10||||20||||30 BTC) If your using a light that has a dial, make sure the dial is at 0 degrees. This thread is about how I do this, every time. Most people will recommend stabbing the distributor at 0*TDC. This should be number 1 compression stroke. If it went past the timing pointer, then you can either turn it counter clockwise to meet the mark, or spin the crank so that the 10*BTC mark passes the timing pointer once (going clockwise) and stopping on the timing pointer on the second spin (clockwise). ![]() If it's before (spinning in clockwise direction), turn it so the 10*BTC lines up with the pointer like so. Locate your 10* BTC and this should be relatively close to your timing pointer. When doing so, put a finger over the plug hole. Using a screwdriver, bump the starter relay. (This is where step one is IMPORTANT, if you don't believe me, go ask Garlic Bronco :doh0715 There will be two 10's showing, you want the red 10 below. Mark 10* BTDC with a white/yellow crayon. Clean them up with a wire brush or some sandpaper. ![]() These are located on the harmonic balancer. Make sure your timing marks are clean and can be read. And leave the key removed from ignition as you don't want the engine to start while using this process. Make sure auto trans is in Park and parking brake on, or if it's a manual trans in neutral and parking brake on (safety first). These first directions are for new motor installs, or if you've pulled the distributor and didn't mark the distributor before removing it. These first steps are to be able to fire it up without a timing light. I get tired of typing this, and figured this was the best post I could do for a step by step on how to properly set timing on a 302 or 351 in a technical write up. ![]()
