I have a pretty good running B18 with about 120K on it. After I adjust the valves I want to put the timing light on it.
So, at ________RPM the light on the crank should read______.
The last couple of times I adjusted the timing without the motor running and just turned the distributor until the light on the electronic ignition box went on, after finding TDC of course. Couldn’t I just keep using that method? It seems to be running OK. Only once and a while I do get run on after turning the ignition off.
Thanks for your input
