[NeedCAforS13]

How to PROPERLY set the timing on the CA:

-warm car up to HOT-remove decorative coilpack cover-remove the plug going to the coilpack on the #1 cylinder-remove the 4 bolts holding the coilpack in place-remove the coil pack-get a spark plug wire (steal one from your old KA, or your mom’s car)-attach one end to the spark plug-remove the rubber boot on the coilpack-using electrical tape, attach the other end of the plug wire to the coilpack-plug the coilpack back in-set coilpack someplace that allows the body of the unit to be grounded-attach the inductive pick up to the plug wire you just made-attach positive and negative power leads to the battery-start the car-point timing light at the crank pulley-it should read at 15*BTDC-if timing is incorrect loosen the 3 bolts that secure the CAS and adjust left/right until the timing is at 15*BTDC-retighten the 3 bolts and recheck the timing-turn off the car-reinstall the coilpack, plug the coilpack in, and reinstall the decorative cover if desired-enjoy your newly timed car!
