Put a copy of this in the tech forum too, I need to make sure I did this right.
Timing
Well, I FINALLY got around to timing the car today, a couple of questions.
1. When you are shooting the light at the crank, do you aim straight down from directly above the pin? Or at an angle? The n_dahi site said "Aim the timing light so as the timing light, the pin (pointer) above the crank pulley, and the marks on the crank pulley are in a straight line. " So I assumed this meant aiming the light from directly above.
2. Should you notive an instant difference in HP? From following the steps on the website and aiming the timing light fromstraight above the pin and crank pulley, my car was set at ~12-13*. I moved to to ~17-18, took it for a spin and did not feel a gain. Am I doing something wrong.
Help!
TIA
