1. Place transmission in Neutral or Park with A/C in off position.
2. Connect an inductive timing light.
3. Disconnect the single wire in-line spout connector or remove the shorting bar from the double wire spout connector.
4. Start engine and allow to reach operating temperature. With engine at timing rpm,in check or adjust initial timing to specification.
5. Reconnect single wire in-line spout connector or reinstall the shorting bar on the double wire spout connector. Check timing advance to verify distributor is advancing beyond the initial setting. If it is not, refer to QUICK TEST COMPUTERIZED ENGINE CONTROLS
6. Remove test instruments.
