guess I will try to step ladder again... that stupid air conditioning thing mount is making it a struggle to even reach the hole..
and yes.. i wrote all over the new cap

 

It looks like the #1 post on the cap is just inboard or the wire grommet. We'll want to see where the rotor sits when the crank is at 0. Any luck with compression?

 

yes my brain feels compressed lol so I'm compressing my lungs (cigarette) and then I will go outside again

 

ok. I felt a puff of air.. going counter clockwise.. if looking from the front towards the firewall... or turning towards the passenger side

 

ugh.. ive got it on -2 ?

 

so turning it in the direction of the balancer scale where the numbers increase.. i felt air

 

Here is where that parallax comes in again. Can you take a picture directly over the distributor with the hammer head lined up just inside the body of the distributor. Per Cruiser's instruction, what we are optimally looking for is: "the trailing edge of the distributor rotor tip is just departing from the #1 spark plug wire post terminal."

Note: Page 1 of Cruiser's tip does indicate that Tip 13, RENIX distributor indexing, is not relevant to '91 and newer.

 

Let's call it good on TDC. It's currently sitting at about +2 degrees. If you want to be absolutely perfect, get it back to the 0, otherwise its time to evaluate that rotor position.

 

actually it is in the exact same place as the guy with the mj has it in his timing video when he is done..

brb for that pic

oh just so you know.. I am using my laptop for all these posts and plugging my phone in for the pics.. thats why im slow sometimes

 

I'm technically challenged, I know it takes a while to download the photos.

 

and it is a bit wet outside... plugs are coming in some time tomorrow.. they will likely be in by noon eastern time

 

That is with the crank still at +2 or on 0?

 

You're well over 3000 views

 

I did not turn it anymore... but I do want to be sure that if I need to I can happily take the dizzy back out and rotate it 180 since the air was felt on

 

So the mark is still where it was in the second photo if post 169.
