1982 280zxt timing- Haynes says see Dealer

[azZdriver]

How do you set the timing on an '82 280zxt? The Haynes manual says to see dealer. Does the 82 also have the Timing Adjustment Screw? I couldn't find it, but the crank angle sensor is inside the distributor so doesn't seem like it would be.

Weird... my Haynes manual has the specs on page 26.

 

20* +/- 3* @ 650-700 RPM.

 

You adjust it just like any other car with a distributor. Loosen it, & adjust w/ timing gun. On the turbo model, you unplug the TPS while adjusting. The n/a model you disconnect the vac advance.

 

EDIT... there is a VERY detailed step by step procedure on page 45.

Note: This procedure does not apply to Turbo models. For 1981 Turbo models refer to Step 17. For 1982 Turbo models see your dealer.

 

Is there a difference between turbo models?

See Step 17: It is possible the timing can go wrong if the crank angle sensor becomes misaligned. The CAS is located @ the front of the engine, alongside the crankshaft pulley.

 

81 turbo has a CAS on the crank pulley. The 82-83 CAS is in the distributor.

 

Again... adjust timing like any other dizzy car.
