Re: How to I time?
find top dead center and mark the dampner and the indicator tab at 0. get a timing light and hook it to number 1 cylinder spark plug wire, using the clip thing. make sure you have the brown wire under the pass side carpet unhooked and no check engine lights are on.
start up your truck. turn the knob on the timing light to 0. the line should be in the FIRST VALLEY on the tab. and if you have to you might have to turn the distbuter to get it right.
hope that helps. and i hope that makes any sence at all :lol:

Yes, this wire:
"The ESC Electronic Spark Timing "tan wire with a black stripe" that everyone can't find when attempting to set their timing (s-series). Wire is under the carpet on the passenger side below the heater box. It is disconnected to set the timing, then reconnected."
