I've noticed a lot of people have popped up asking how to check the timing of their SR's. Many people use the method of resetting the CAS with the #1 piston at TDC, but I feel that it's time consuming and more hassle. The method I use is the same as heavy throttle's save for one minor detail.
You'll need a few things to begin with. An extra coil pack, a spark plug wire, some electrical tape, and an inductive timing light.
Step one is to take the spark plug wire and snip the distributor end off leaving the plug wire exposed. Take the wire and shove it into the coil pack and while holding it in tightly, tape it in place.
You should have something that looks like this,
Step two is to warm up the engine. Start er up and drive her down the road or let her sit idle for a few minutes so she can get at a steady idle.
Step three. Turn the engine off and take the #1 coil pack out and disconnect it from the harness (the bolt is a 10mm, btw). Take your makeshift spark plug wire/coil pack and plug it in. Then set up your timing light.
Step four. Disconnect the TPS plug and start the car back up. Aim the timing light at the crank pully. The mark you're wanting to line up is the second from the right. That's 15 BTDC. Take a 12mm socket and loosen the CAS mounting bolts. Now you can rotate the CAS to set the timing. Rotate it until the 15 BTDC mark is lined up to the needle. Tighten the CAS and replace the coil pack.
This method costs money, as opposed to the CAS reset method. But since I don't have to remove my valve cover and remove the CAS, I can deal with the extra charge. Plus a timing light is a very handy tool to have on standby.
