How do i set correct timing
How do i set correct timing
wassup.....Can the spark plug wire probe of a timing light clip onto the spark plug coil wire itself since we dont have spark plug wires?

Clipping onto the harness wires never works with standard lights. The only way i've been able to get an accurate reading with a timing light is by a wire between the coilpack and spark plug. (believe me, many of us have spent weeks figuring this out)
Try this writeup, it's pretty good and includes pics.
zerothread?id=59684btw, you don't necessarily need an extra coilpack, just gently stick the wire into the coil and the other end on the spark plug, you'll see what i mean.

i have set timing on my sr using the wire that comes out of the first coil pack. well i was using a $500 dollar snap on gun with lots of nifty buttons on it. that may have an advantage over the 30 dollar autozone gun you are probably using...
HA! This is always a funny thread. I havn't seen one in a long time. Instead of doing any kind of wierd spark plug wire thing just look at the coil pack harness... back towards the back of the head there is a black loop of wire that's a little longer than it needs to be. Put your standard timing light thing on that skinny little wire and it will flash perfectly for you.
